Gameplay Summary

The game featured four high-power Commander decks piloted by experienced players, each with distinct strategies.

Early turns saw players establishing their mana bases and deploying key creatures like Toxrill’s slug tokens, Vaevictis Asmadi’s dragons, Light-Paws’ aura-enhanced Voltron plan, and Nekusar’s wheel effects.

Crucial interactions included Nekusar applying constant pressure through card draw and damage, while Vaevictis attempted to disrupt opponents by stealing cards and accelerating dragons.

The slug swarm from Toxrill created a persistent board presence, leveraging recursion and battlefield control.

Light-Paws focused on enchanting a single creature to become a formidable Voltron threat, using protection and first strike to push damage through.

The game progressed with players balancing offense and defense, each aiming to outlast opponents through incremental advantage and combos tied to their commanders’ unique mechanics.
