Gameplay Summary

The game began with a slow ramp-up as each player established their board states, focusing on their commanders' unique synergies.

Norman Osborn started by leveraging his connive ability to draw and discard cards, aiming to build up counters on himself before transforming into Green Goblin to capitalize on graveyard spells with mayhem costs.

The Celestial Toymaker employed a strategy centered around making opponents make difficult choices by exiling cards face up or down, controlling the flow of resources and draining life gradually.

The Wandering Minstrel focused on land ramp and token generation, using lands entering untapped and creating elemental tokens once a land threshold was reached to buff his team and prepare for large swings in combat.

Ultima, Origin of Oblivion, played a powerful Eldrazi god that taxed opponents' lands by placing blight counters, stripping them of their basic land functions while generating extra colorless mana for its controller, enabling heavy casting and devastating board presence.
