Summary

In a high-powered game, the commanders of Dominaria United faced off with each player building up their resources and positioning their commanders for the best possible advantage. Early on, John's Braids, Arisen Nightmare, created significant pressure on the board, forcing his opponents to make difficult decisions about which permanents to sacrifice. Carlos' Joda, the Unifier deck sought to build up a large number of legendary creatures to enhance Joda's abilities, while Julian's Dihada, Binder of Wills focused on generating treasures and reanimation strategies. Jeff's Shanna, Purifying Blade strategy focused on creating a formidable Voltron setup. The game featured a lot of back-and-forth with each player attempting to assert control and survive through the others' powerful plays.
