Summary
The Commander game featured four decks led by Liesa, Shroud of Dusk; Prosper, Tome-Bound; Tuvasa the Sunlit; and The Ur-Dragon. Early gameplay saw players ramping mana and establishing their board presence with key permanents. Prosper focused on generating treasure and casting demons by exiling opponents' cards, while Tuvasa played a classic enchantress build aiming to trigger enchantment synergies and combos. Liesa worked to punish opponents for casting spells, using angels with lifelink and damage-triggering effects to slowly drain life totals. The Ur-Dragon player aimed to cast powerful dragons and leverage dragon synergy effects to control the battlefield and apply pressure. Midgame turning points included Prosper successfully reanimating creatures and generating treasure tokens with Blood Cracker, alongside casting impactful demons. Tuvasa and Liesa built up life gain engines and token swarms, with Liesa’s Resplendent Angel creating flying angel tokens that synergized with life gain to further pressure opponents.
