Gameplay Summary

The game featured a duel between a Windgrace Lands deck, focused on land value and recursion, and an Ertai Storm deck, combining control elements with a storm combo finish.

Early turns saw both players developing their boards and setting up key resources, with Windgrace deploying clues and value lands while Ertai established control with early removal and disruption spells.

A critical moment occurred when Ertai managed to assemble a storm combo involving rituals, dark rituals, and multiple spells, culminating in a Tendrils of Agony that decisively ended the game.

Despite Windgrace's attempts to stabilize with land recursion and threats, the high storm count and ritual acceleration overwhelmed the board.

The game highlighted the tension between slow value-based land strategies and fast, spell-heavy storm combos in a duel commander setting.
