Gameplay Summary

The game started with all four players developing their boards and casting their commanders.

The game was quite interactive with several board wipes, and key cards being removed.

Sam's Commodore Guff deck took the lead with the help of planeswalkers like Nahiri and Elspeth, using their abilities to control the board and generate value.

Meanwhile, John's Anikthea deck managed to create a strong presence with numerous token copies through the Myriad mechanic.

Extra's Zhulodok deck faced multiple setbacks as the commander was repeatedly removed.

Tom's Gravemother kept a low profile but managed to apply pressure through its sliver synergies.

The game's tide turned when Sam managed to cast Soul Rains, which in combination with Tamiyo, the Moon Sage and Whirlwind of Thought, allowed him to take infinite turns and eventually secure the victory.
