Summary
The game featured four players each piloting a Dominus cycle commander from the new Forexia set, all centered around doubling various effects, akin to a Panharmonicon theme. Early turns focused on ramp and setting up board presence with mana rocks like Pyramid of the Pantheon, Nykthos, and Astral Cornucopia, enabling the commanders' abilities and doubling triggers. Mondrak Glory Dominus excelled at token doubling, generating multiple tokens per trigger, while Sulfim Mayhem Dominus aimed to double non-combat damage, echoing a burn-focused strategy. Tekuthal Inquiry Dominus specialized in doubling proliferate effects, aiming to quickly amass counters on permanents and players. Grief Not (likely a proxy or nickname) doubled death triggers, leaning into sacrifice synergies and artifact themes.
