Summary

The game featured a dynamic four-player Commander match with Estrid, the Masked, Sedris, the Traitor King, Meren of Clan Nel Toth, and Gavi, Nest Warden. Early turns were focused on ramp and setup, with players developing their mana bases and casting signets and utility lands. Trevor (Meren) exploited graveyard synergies and reanimated creatures, while Martin (Sedris) quickly ramped into a powerful combo with Mirror March and Runescar Demon, generating multiple triggered abilities to create an overwhelming board presence. Martin’s loop with Mirror March and Deadeye Navigator enabled him to flicker creatures repeatedly, tutoring and casting spells from his graveyard with Underworld Breach, effectively locking down the game and putting immense pressure on opponents. Meanwhile, Harry (Estrid) used enchantment synergies to draw cards and maintain board presence, and the narrator (playing Gavi) focused on creating tokens and controlling the board, although their deck was noted to be slightly lower powered. The pivotal moment came when Martin executed an infinite combo involving Mirror March, Panharmonicon, and Deadeye Navigator to generate multiple copies of creatures and tutors, leading to an inevitable table wipe or game-ending scenario. Attempts to disrupt this combo were minimal or unsuccessful, resulting in Martin’s clear dominance and likely victory in the match.
