Deck Strategies
Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy
Ramp quickly using Kinnan's ability and mana dorks to generate infinite mana, then use this to cast large spells or combos that end the game.
Tatyova, Benthic Druid
Leverage landfall triggers for card draw and life gain, combined with disruption and board presence to control the game and outvalue opponents.
The Gitrog Monster
Utilize graveyard synergies and dredge to draw cards, disrupt opponents, and assemble combos that win through recursive value and damage.
Tana, the Bloodsower / Tymna the Weaver
Control the board through disruption and stacks pieces while generating card advantage and tokens, aiming to win with midrange creatures and value engines.

Summary
The game features a high-powered multiplayer Commander matchup with four competitive decks battling for control. Early on, players establish their board states with ramp, disruption, and key creatures. Mike's Tymna/Tana deck focuses on disruption and value plays, including Dark Confidant and Dockside Extortionist to generate treasure tokens. Boulder playing Kinnan ramps aggressively aiming for infinite mana combos, while Zach's Tatyova deck leverages landfall and card advantage with creatures like Oko to disrupt opponents. Ryan's Gitrog Monster deck uses dredge and graveyard interactions to assemble its win condition. A pivotal moment occurs when Mike casts Fire Covenant, a board wipe that significantly reduces the board presence of multiple players, resetting the board and shifting momentum. Throughout the game, various interactions with Oko manipulate creatures on the battlefield, temporarily neutralizing threats. The game revolves around careful resource management, disruption, and setting up infinite mana or value engine combos, with players responding dynamically to board wipes and targeted removal attempts. The win conditions likely evolve around infinite mana combos (Kinnan), synergistic landfall (Tatyova), or graveyard recursion and dredge (Gitrog).
