Gameplay Summary

The game began with all four players developing their boards with lands and early creatures that reflected their commanders’ themes.

The Necrobloom player focused heavily on generating zombie tokens through Field of the Dead synergies and other token-producing effects, aiming to overwhelm opponents with a swarm.

Shanna’s deck leaned into lifegain and soul sisters, accumulating incremental advantages through life gain triggers and card draw.

Key moments included Sigurd’s aggressive use of sagas and his ability to add plus-one counters on attack, which pressured opponents early on.

The Necrobloom player made a significant impact by deploying Cabal Profiteer, which doubled token production and drained opponents’ life simultaneously, synergizing well with the zombie swarm plan.

Meanwhile, Shiko and Narset capitalized on their ability to copy spells, generating card advantage and disruption.
