The game began with aggressive mana acceleration and early plays from all players, setting up for explosive turns.

The game showcased the raw speed and resilience of the Rograkh deck, capitalizing on high-impact spells and mana production to outpace opponents. Subsequent games featured the other commanders trying to establish their strategies, with Korvold aiming for a turbo combo using Dockside Extortionist and Ancestral Recall to storm out, Borborygmos and Fblthp focusing on a midrange plan that transitions into combo wins with Niv-Mizzet and enchantments like Curiosity or Keen Sense, and Omnath utilizing landfall synergies and infinite draw combos.
