Greven vs Ruhan vs Gavi vs Golos [EDH Commander] Gameplay 2020

The game featured a dynamic four-player Commander match with Greven, Predator Captain; Golos, Tireless Pilgrim; Ruhan of the Fomori; and Gavi, Nest Warden.

Early turns saw each player establishing their mana bases and deploying key pieces, including planeswalkers like Garruk Wildspeaker and Teferi, Hero of Dominaria, as well as utility creatures and equipment to set up their strategies.

Greven’s player focused on a high-risk, high-reward plan of self-inflicted damage to bring Greven out quickly and strike decisively, while Golos aimed to leverage a variety of planeswalkers and board wipes to control the game and gain incremental advantage.

Ruhan’s aggressive deck worked to quickly equip and attack with his commander to deal damage and pressure opponents, and Gavi’s cycling-centric strategy generated value through card cycling and token creation to outpace opponents with incremental advantage and combat tricks. A critical moment occurred when Greven was cast with haste, threatening a lethal strike on Teferi, but the attempt was thwarted by Golos’s player casting Soul Shatter, forcing multiple players to sacrifice their commanders, significantly shifting the board state.

From there, Gavi’s player capitalized on cycling synergies and token generation to rebuild board presence.

Golos continued to leverage planeswalkers and efficient spells to maintain control, while Ruhan tried to keep pressure with combat and equipment.

The game’s tension was heightened by smart plays such as stifling abilities to disrupt combos and protect key permanents, and well-timed board wipes like Chromatic Vengeance and Sweltering Suns to reset the board when necessary.

The interplay of aggressive commander attacks, value generation from cycling, and planeswalker ultimates defined the flow of the match, with each player vying for control and looking for an opening to close out the game.
