Summary

The game featured four powerful and highly interactive commanders: The First Sliver, Baron Von Count, Kroxa, Titan of Death's Hunger, and Urza, Lord High Artificer. Early turns involved careful mana development and setting up board presence with Urza generating artifact tokens and Kroxa enabling discard synergies. Baron Von Count leveraged life payment and card draw, while The First Sliver tried to build a resilient Sliver board. Key turning points included multiple uses of Crack the Earth triggered by Tibalt, the Reckless Impatient Iguana, forcing players to sacrifice permanents and disrupting board states significantly. The Urza player capitalized on artifact synergies and mana acceleration, generating threats like Constructs and casting powerful spells such as Dockside Extortionist and Bronze Calendar. Kroxa repeatedly pressured opponents through discard and attacks, while Baron Von Count applied hand disruption and damage over time with cards like The Rack. Combat phases were tense, with players selectively attacking to maintain board control and exploit exalted triggers. The game featured a mix of disruption, combo potential, and aggressive board states leading to a highly interactive midgame, with each player maneuvering around land destruction, sacrifice effects, and artifact synergies to gain the upper hand.
