Summary

In this chaotic game of Commander, players faced off with randomly assigned decks, each with unique strategies and win conditions. Early in the game, the focus was on establishing board presence and understanding their deck's mechanics. A notable moment was the introduction of the Ruin Crab with its landfall-triggered mill effect, indicating a potential mill-based win strategy for the Dakkon Blackblade player. The Anafenza player, on the other hand, seemed to be focusing on a counter-based strategy, utilizing the Outlast mechanic from the card Arcus Acolyte. The Kydele/Radiant player's deck was based around flying creatures, with early play of Cloud of Fairies and Pride of the Clouds setting a strong airborne presence. The Hidetsugu player, meanwhile, revealed a potentially explosive strategy with the Passionate Archaeologist, hinting at a deck focused on casting spells from exile.
