Gameplay Summary

The multiplayer Commander game featured four decks each with distinct strategies vying for control.

Early turns involved setting up mana bases and deploying utility creatures and enchantments.

Tymna and Ravos focused on life gain and incremental advantage through lifelink and card draw, while Narci sought to leverage enchantments and proliferate effects to burn opponents without combat.

Umori centered the game around producing and enhancing Ooze tokens, and Urza aimed to generate a board presence with artifact token production and +1/+1 counter synergies. Key moments included Urza casting Simulacrum and quickly amassing artifact constructs, posing a growing threat.

Tymna established a steady engine with lifelink and card draw, enabling incremental advantage, while Narci developed a board of enchantments with the help of the Composer of Spring.

Umori's Ooze generation was still modest but threatening.

The dynamics showed tension between players, with Tymna/Ravos and Narci collaborating informally against Urza's token swarm.

Combat was cautious and calculated, with minor damage exchanges and life payments to maintain engines.

The game revolved around board development, incremental advantage, and positioning for a late-game win through either overwhelming board presence or enchantment synergy burn.
