Gameplay Summary

The game featured four unique Commander decks with distinct strategies battling in a multiplayer Commander game.

The player piloting Post the Enchanter focused on an enchantment-centric strategy, aiming to leverage enchantment synergies and value spells like Share the Spoils and Blind Obedience.

Early interaction involved counterspells like Spellstutter Sprite and disruption to slow down opponents, while Post sought to assemble a mana base with exile effects and sacrifice outlets like Pit of Offerings.

The other players deployed their strategies around reanimator, knights/token generation, and spell-slinging with modal effects, each trying to establish board presence and disrupt opponents' plans.

A key turning point occurred when one player cast Invasion of New Phyrexia, producing a sizable knight army and flipping it to a powerful battlefield presence, shifting board control.

Meanwhile, the enchantment deck worked to maintain pressure by creating zombies and leveraging curses such as Curse of Restless Dead to generate value and tokens.

The spell-slinger deck aimed to capitalize on cheap modal spells and commander damage, while reanimator threatened to cheat large creatures into play.

The game’s tempo swung with well-timed counters and combat phases, and attempts to deploy game-ending spells like Expropriate hinted at explosive turns.

The overall flow was a tense race to stabilize mana and board presence, with incremental value from enchantments and tokens guiding the pathway to victory.
