Gameplay Insights

• 1

  The use of infect in a multiplayer game can be a double-edged sword. While it can deal significant damage quickly, it may also draw the attention and hostility of other players.

• 2

  Drawing a large number of cards can provide a significant advantage, but it also risks depleting the player's library. Players should be cautious with such strategies in multiplayer games, as they might become the target of other players.

Summary

In this unique match-up, all players chose Atraxa, Praetors' Voice as their commander, leading to a proliferate-themed game. The early game was characterized by players setting up their boards, with one player using a Contagion Clasp to put a -1/-1 counter on an opponent's creature. Another player attempted to gain an advantage by drawing a significant number of cards using enchantress effects and Ristic Study, indicating a potential deck-out strategy. However, the gameplay was also marked by a notable use of infect, as one player cast Ichor Rats, giving all players a poison counter. The game continued with players seeking to maximize their use of Atraxa's proliferate ability while trying to navigate around the increasing threats on the board.
