Summary

The game featured four players each piloting tribal decks themed around Innistrad's Midnight Hunt set: Humans, Werewolves, Angels, and Curses. The gameplay began with players establishing their boards, deploying tribal synergies and curve plays. Tovolar, Dire Overlord led the Werewolf deck, focusing on transforming creatures and card draw through combat damage triggers, while Sigarda, Champion of Light pushed a classic Human tribal strategy with a focus on efficient creatures like Champion of the Parish. Liesa, Forgotten Archangel controlled an Angel tribal deck with a graveyard interaction subtheme, aiming to disrupt opponents' graveyards while leveraging lifelink and flying threats. Meanwhile, Lynde, Cheerful Tormentor piloted a Curse-focused deck that played curses on herself to draw cards and then passed those curses to opponents to hinder their strategies and gain incremental advantages. Key turning points included Tovolar's werewolves flipping and gaining trample, enabling aggressive pressure and card draw, while Liesa's graveyard hate and resilience created a strong defensive backbone. Sigarda's ability to tutor humans off the top of the deck through her coven ability helped maintain constant pressure and board presence. Lynde's curses, particularly Curse of Opulence and Curse of Verbosity, provided both card advantage and disruption, creating a unique gameplay dynamic. The interactions between these tribal synergies and the incremental advantage from curses formed the core gameplay tension, with players needing to balance aggression, disruption, and board development. Ultimately, the game showcased the strengths and challenges of tribal decks in a multiplayer Commander environment, highlighting tribal cohesion, incremental advantage, and strategic timing of spells and combat as pivotal factors.
