Summary

The game featured four distinct Commander decks with varied strategies, including a dragon-focused deck aiming to cheat large creatures into play, a spell-copying deck leveraging instants and sorceries, a go-wide aggressive deck, and a damage-through-card-draw deck. Early turns saw players establishing mana bases and deploying key ramp artifacts and lands. The Ur-Dragon player quickly set up a board presence by cheating in Thracus the Butcher and casting powerful dragons. The spell-copying deck used Primal Amulet and Jessica's Will to generate value and removal, while the go-wide deck struggled with land drops but deployed Cabaret Ascendancy and Mirari's Wake to build a threatening board. The Nekusar player steadily applied pressure by forcing extra draws and dealing damage through card draw effects, stacking multiple sources such as Ob Nixilis and Fevered Visions to punish opponents.
