Summary

The game began with players establishing their board states through land drops and early plays that set up their commanders' synergies. Satya, Aetherflux Genius generated and leveraged energy counters to create token copies of creatures, aiming to overwhelm opponents with a growing swarm and powerful effects. Ulalek, Fused Atrocity focused on casting Eldrazi spells and copying spells and abilities to double the impact of his threats and disrupt the table. The Necrobloom capitalized on landfall triggers to produce an army of plant tokens that could upgrade to zombies upon controlling seven or more lands with different names, creating a strong board presence. Coram, the Undertaker milled cards from all players' libraries to increase his power and cast spells from graveyards, gaining advantage by reanimating or playing cards from opponents' graveyards. Key turning points included the use of Static Prison by Satya to exile potentially threatening creatures temporarily, forcing opponents to pay energy upkeep or lose their permanents. Mesmeric Orb enabled continuous milling, fueling Coram's graveyard interactions and potentially disrupting others. The interaction between the energy generation and payoffs in Satya's deck, combined with Ulalek's spell copying and The Necrobloom's landfall token production, led to escalating board states. Sacrificing Static Prison to recover Fanatic of Ronus and casting Aether Revolt to apply pressure with energy-triggered damage showcased Satya's aggressive tempo plays. The game revolved around managing resources, maximizing triggers, and leveraging graveyard and token synergies to dominate the board and push towards victory.
