Weird Wednesday #edh #cmdr games with Micah, Eric.... and sadly Maximus

Summary

The game began with an interesting interaction with Zask's ability and a card named Mortuary. Players were warned about this combo due to its potential to disrupt the game. The game saw a heavy focus on ramping, with some players gaining an early advantage in mana and being able to cast their commanders and other impactful cards earlier. Notably, Athreos, Shroud-Veiled's ability to put 'coin' counters on creatures led to complex board states and interactions. The game was marked by strategic decisions, with players carefully choosing targets for their attacks and spells to navigate the changing board state.
