Summary

This Commander match featured four distinct strategies with decks led by Oloro, Ageless Ascetic, Niv-Mizzet, Parun, Seton, Krosan Protector, and Lim-Dûl the Necromancer. The game was a mix of control, card-drawing synergies, druid-themed tribal strategy, and manipulation of opponents' resources. A turning point occurred when the Lim-Dûl deck managed to use its opponent's resources against them, particularly with the use of Gonti, Lord of Luxury. However, the Niv-Mizzet deck countered this by using its card draw and ping strategy to keep the Lim-Dûl deck in check. The Oloro deck constantly increased its life total, making it a hard target, while the Seton deck ramped up its mana and creature count with its druid tribal theme.
