Gameplay Summary

The game begins with all players introducing their commanders and decks, each featuring highly graded and valuable cards, adding a layer of tension due to the stakes of handling such expensive cards.

Early plays involve setting up mana bases and deploying key creatures like Thalia, Heretic Cathar, which significantly impacts opponents' ability to play non-basic lands.

A pivotal moment occurs when one player casts Stasis, an enchantment that prevents players from untapping their lands, severely slowing the game and forcing players into a tense standoff.

Players respond by managing limited resources and carefully selecting plays, including removal spells like Lightning Strike against threatening creatures.

The game features a mix of aggressive Voltron strategies and value-driven token production, with players jockeying for control while being constrained by Stasis and the cautious handling of their high-value cards.

The gameplay emphasizes strategic patience, resource management, and interaction, with the Stasis enchantment serving as a key turning point that shapes the mid-game tension and tempo.
