Summary

The game featured four distinct decks led by commanders with unique strategies. Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm's player leveraged the copy mechanic to generate multiple dragon tokens whenever a dragon entered the battlefield, enabling explosive board presence and overwhelming value. Duke Ulder Ravengard's deck focused on aggressive combat with the Myriad mechanic, creating multiple attacking copies of a single creature each combat, applying pressure to all opponents simultaneously. Jan Jansen, Chaos Crafter piloted a Mardu artifact-matter deck that relied on artifact synergies and combos involving treasures and artifact creatures, aiming for a combo win condition through infinite or repetitive artifact interactions. Neera, Wild Mage's deck was built around casting and cheating big, random spells from the top of the library, introducing unpredictability and powerful spell effects to the game dynamic. Early in the game, Miirym's ability to duplicate dragons led to an expanding threat base that demanded removal or board wipes. Duke Ulder Ravengard's Myriad attacks forced players to defend from multiple fronts, increasing the game pace. Jan Jansen's player sought to assemble their combo pieces amidst the chaos, with their deck's artifact synergies becoming more dangerous with each artifact played or destroyed. Neera's player attempted to capitalize on chaotic spellcasting, using powerful instants and sorceries to disrupt opponents and generate advantage. Key turning points included a critical board wipe that temporarily stalled Miirym's tokens and a Jeweled Lotus acceleration that sped up Miirym's board development. The game revolved around balancing aggression, disruption, and combo assembly, with players vying to either outpace opponents with overwhelming attacks or stabilize and execute their win conditions.
