Gameplay Summary
As the game progressed, Kenrith became a significant threat with multiple +1/+1 counters and a threatening Commander damage clock, drawing the attention of opponents.
Winota attempted to maintain pressure with fast attacks and synergy on the board but struggled against taxing effects and disruption.
Kinnan ramped into large mana pools and impactful creatures, looking to outlast others with cards like Seedborn Muse and Assault Suit.
Duskana maintained a steady presence with token generation but was limited by board wipes and taxing effects.
The game featured key moments such as a well-timed Psych Rift on Kenrith to slow his momentum, and a Demonic Consultation cast to dig for game-winning cards.
Ultimately, the game revolved around managing the tension between Kenrith's versatility, Winota's aggressive snowballing, Kinnan's ramp and big threats, and Duskana's token swarm and card advantage.
