Gameplay Summary
The game began with each player establishing their mana base and setting up early board presence.
Amy, playing Deadpool, focused on an Outlaws theme, aiming to capitalize on the mercenary flavor of her commander, while Nathan on Hashaton, Scarab's Fist, planned to generate zombie token copies by discarding cards and drawing heavily.
Voxy piloted Niv-Mizzet, Visionary, leveraging the commander’s ability to draw cards from non-combat damage, setting up for a potential spell-slinging win condition.
Foxy was on Prossh, Skyraider of Kher, a classic precon deck that thrives on producing tokens and overwhelming opponents with a swarm of creatures.
Early plays included lands, utility creatures like Esper Sentinel, and ramp artifacts, setting the tempo for mid-game developments. As the game progressed, players jockeyed for advantage through incremental board development and card advantage.
Notable moments included Nathan’s use of discard triggers to create zombie tokens and Amy’s attempts to utilize Deadpool's synergy with outlaw-themed cards.
Voxy worked to position Niv-Mizzet for maximum card draw through non-combat damage spells, aiming to outvalue opponents.
