Gameplay Summary

The game began with each player deploying their unique strategies centered around their commanders.

Raffine focused on establishing air superiority with evasive creatures and leveraging her loot ability to build a powerful airborne army.

Breena encouraged opponents to attack each other while growing her forces through +1/+1 counters.

Nekusar employed a classic wheel and discard strategy to punish opponents with damage from drawing and discarding cards, while Be'lakor aimed to control the board with demons and strong combat presence. Early turns featured ramping and setting up key creatures such as Swiftfoot Boots for protection, Opposition Agent to steal card advantage, and K the Betrayer who forced attacks and granted card draw upon loss of control.

A pivotal moment occurred when a board wipe (Languish) was cast, resetting the battlefield and slowing aggressive pushes temporarily.

Later, Be'lakor entered the battlefield, drawing cards equal to demons controlled and further advancing his demon strategy.

Nekusar's wheels and discard effects began to chip away at opponents' resources and life totals, while Breena's counters incentivized conflict among players.

Chaos Defiler was played to randomly destroy nonland permanents from opponents, disrupting their setups.

Raffine maintained pressure with evasive creatures and card filtering, aiming for a combat victory through air superiority.

The game was characterized by strategic interplay between board control, card advantage, and incremental damage through commander abilities and synergy among creatures.
