Gameplay Summary
The game features a casual Commander match with four players piloting unique decks: Ghyrson Starn, Kelermorph; Liliana, Heretical Healer; Dromar, the Banisher; and Gyome, Master Chef.
Early turns involved mana acceleration plays such as Soul Ring and land cycling to set up board presence.
Crim's deck, piloted by Tolarian Community College, focused on incremental damage through Ghyrson Starn's ability to deal damage when other sources deal exactly one damage, creating a slow but consistent attrition strategy.
Meanwhile, other players developed their board states with zombie tribal synergies around Liliana and a flavorful casual Ratatouille-themed deck leveraging Gyome’s abilities.
The game maintained a casual tone with players discussing their hands, mulligans, and early plays, highlighting the importance of mana ramp and careful resource management in developing their strategies.
Although no final decisive victory is shown, the key turning point is the establishment of mana acceleration and early board control, setting the stage for more impactful plays in subsequent turns.
