Summary

In this game, each player brought a unique strategy to the table, revolving around their chosen commander. The game started with a couple of players setting up their board states and the rest focusing on card draw and resource generation. A pivotal moment in the game was the activation of the plane card 'Fortune of the Dark' which caused each player to lose life for non-black cards being sent to the graveyard, this significantly impacted the tempo of the game. As the game progressed, players attempted to establish board control with combos and synergies tied to their commanders. However, the game ended abruptly due to a sudden combo that was not sufficiently disrupted by the other players.
