Gameplay Summary

The game began with each player establishing their board presence according to their commanders' strategies.

Marrow-Gnawer focused on building a massive army of rats, leveraging the synergy of numerous one-drop rat creatures that grow stronger with each other.

Gyruda, Doom of Depths aimed to cheat large creatures into play by flickering her commander repeatedly, summoning a terrifying force of huge monsters.

Xyris, the Writhing Storm ramped into a card draw engine that rewarded her for opponents drawing cards, enabling her to generate a swarm of snake tokens and eventually overwhelm the table.

The Ur-Dragon employed a ramp-heavy dragon tribal approach, developing a strong board of dragons with protective effects to dominate combat and control the board state. A pivotal moment occurred when Gyruda flickered her commander multiple times, allowing her to cheat out several massive creatures, significantly shifting the power balance.

Meanwhile, Xyris's board filled with snake tokens, and her continuous card draw engine pressured opponents with incremental advantages.

Marrow-Gnawer aggressively swarmed the board with rats, threatening to deal lethal damage if unchecked.

The Ur-Dragon leveraged protection effects on his dragons, making them hard to remove and poised to strike decisively.

Board wipes and flicker interactions heavily influenced the flow of the game, with creatures dying and returning, causing massive swings in board state.

The game revolved around managing these powerful board states, with players trying to time their attacks and removal to disrupt each other's plans while advancing their own win conditions.
