Gameplay Summary
The game begins with four players each piloting a distinct commander deck themed around different planes and strategies, with a Plane Chase twist adding unique planar effects to the gameplay.
Early turns are marked by cautious ramping and setting up board presence while contending with the initial planar phenomenon that wipes the board clean, forcing a quick rebuild.
One player focuses on a mutate tribal strategy, aiming to build a big stack of creatures with the ability to recur mutate cards from the graveyard.
Another player commands a vampire tribal deck that generates blood tokens and leverages them to cheat large vampires into play with indestructibility, applying steady pressure.
Meanwhile, the third player runs a clue and investigation-themed deck with no maximum hand size, growing their commander by drawing multiple cards each turn and creating clues to fuel card advantage.
The fourth player pilots a dinosaur tribal deck that ramps aggressively, taking advantage of treasure tokens generated by planar chaos to fuel their large creatures and trigger discover effects for card selection.
