Summary

The game featured a high-powered clash between four mono-colored commanders, each representing a distinct strategy. The early game saw aggressive ramping and setup from K'rrik and Godo, with K'rrik establishing a strong artifact-based board state and Godo quickly assembling equipment and combo pieces. Selvala's player took a slower, more methodical approach focusing on card draw and board presence, while Kefnet aimed for control and combo turns. A pivotal moment occurred when Godo assembled Helm of the Host and Hammer of Nazahn, enabling infinite combat steps by repeatedly sacrificing and recasting Godo to generate massive damage. Meanwhile, K'rrik leveraged artifact synergies and life payment for board control and treasure creation, creating pressure on opponents.
