Gameplay Summary

The Duel Commander match featured a clash between a two-headed Kenrith deck piloted by Will and Rowan Kenrith and a Golgari enchantment-focused deck led by Klothys, God of Destiny.

The Kenrith deck leveraged the synergy of its commanders to generate incremental advantage through card draw and combat tricks, while also pressuring the opponent with efficient creatures and burn effects.

Klothys aimed to capitalize on enchantment synergies, recurring key permanents from the graveyard and draining life from opponents to gain incremental value over time. The game progressed with the Kenrith deck establishing board presence early, utilizing the versatility of Will and Rowan to maintain pressure and disrupt Klothys' setup.

Klothys responded by deploying enchantments that allowed for graveyard recursion and attrition-based life drain, aiming to stabilize and turn the game in its favor.

Key turning points included critical removal spells and well-timed combat phases that shifted momentum.

Ultimately, the Kenrith deck's ability to apply continuous pressure and capitalize on combat damage led to victory before Klothys could fully assemble its enchantment synergies for a winning late-game drain combo.
