Summary
The game featured a unique Commander format where players used legendary non-creature cards as their generals. The players brought diverse strategies: one focused on buffing legendary creatures with Day of Destiny, another leveraged a five-color artifact-centric deck around Legacy Weapon, a third utilized a swarm of evasive, small legendary creatures with Bident of Thassa, and the last employed a vehicle-based aggressive approach with Skysovereign, Consul Flagship. Early game developments showed slow board states, with the Bident deck deploying efficient one-drop evasive creatures and the Skysovereign player assembling crew to pilot their flagship. Legacy Weapon's player sought to ramp quickly to cast powerful five-color spells and aimed to control the board with artifact removal and potent threats like Door to Nothingness. Day of Destiny's strategy centered on powering up legendary creatures and using equipment to amplify their damage output. The game’s momentum shifted when Legacy Weapon started stabilizing with key artifact synergies, while Day of Destiny’s buffs made its creatures significant threats. Skysovereign's repeated assaults with the flagship pressured opponents, but the swarm of small evasive creatures from Bident consistently chipped away at life totals. Ultimately, the interaction between artifact control, swarm tactics, and legendary buffs defined the pace and tension of the game, with board wipes and targeted removal playing crucial roles in the evolving board state.
