The Gitrog, Ravenous Ride player, Tom, focused on landfall synergies, creating significant board presence. Obeka, Splitter of Seconds player, John, utilized his commander's ability to gain additional upkeeps, while Gonti, Canny Acquisitor player, Sam, leaned into his commander's ability to exile and play cards from his opponents’ libraries.
