Gameplay Summary

The game features a dynamic multiplayer Commander match with five different decks, including two strong reanimator strategies and a four-color pillowfort build.

Early turns involve ramp and setup, with players developing their mana bases and deploying key creatures like Baleful Strix and Satyr Wayfinder to build board presence and dig for important cards.

Sidisi starts milling cards to fill graveyards but struggles to find creatures to exploit the graveyard synergies.

Meanwhile, Muldrotha leverages land recursion and reanimation, casting creatures from the graveyard such as Fleshbag Marauder and using Muldrotha's ability to maintain board control with repeated sacrifice effects.

The game sees multiple board wipes and sacrifice chains triggered by these graveyard interactions, creating a tense atmosphere where each player jockeys for board dominance and resource advantage. A key turning point is when Muldrotha successfully recasts Fleshbag Marauder repeatedly, forcing all players to sacrifice creatures and drastically impacting the board state.

Meanwhile, Ravos and Thrasios focus on steady value and disruption with cards like Reclamation Sage and Deadeye Navigator, using their synergy to control threats and generate incremental advantage.

Sidisi's milling continues but is somewhat hampered by a lack of creatures hitting the graveyard, limiting the deck's effectiveness.

The match progresses with players carefully managing life and resources, with Meren and Sidisi trying to capitalize on graveyard recursion and sacrifice triggers.

The game highlights the power of graveyard interactions and incremental advantage through sacrifice and reanimation effects, with Muldrotha emerging as a central figure in controlling the game flow and dictating the pace through repeated value plays from the graveyard.
