Gameplay Insights

  • 1

    Dogmeat’s ability to mill five cards on entry and return an aura or equipment from the graveyard creates strong card advantage and recurring threats.

  • 2

    Dr. Madison Li’s energy counters provide flexible options that can adapt to the state of the board, offering protection, card draw, or artifact recursion.

  • 3

    Caesar’s attack-triggered ability to sacrifice creatures and generate multiple benefits makes aggressive combat a powerful and recurring threat that can overwhelm opponents if unanswered.

  • 4

    The Wise Mothman’s rad counters impose a gradual, shared penalty on all players but also fuel its own creatures’ growth, creating a dynamic where opponents must balance offense against the escalating radiation effect.

  • 5

    Early game plays focused on ramp and setting up synergies, with players carefully developing their boards to enable their commanders’ key abilities rather than rushing aggressive combat immediately.

Summary

The game began with players establishing their boards and mana bases, with early plays focused on ramp and setting up synergies. Dogmeat, Ever Loyal's player utilized card draw and equipment recursion, creating artifact-based tokens called Junk that allow additional plays each turn. Dr. Madison Li’s deck capitalized on artifact spells to generate energy counters, enabling versatile effects such as pumping creatures, drawing cards, and reanimating artifacts from the graveyard. Caesar, Legion's Emperor’s player focused on aggressive combat tactics, sacrificing creatures during attacks to create tokens, draw cards, and deal direct damage to opponents. The Wise Moth Man introduced a unique radiation counter mechanic that punished all players each turn with milling and life loss while buffing creatures through +1/+1 counters, adding a slow but steady pressure strategy.

Description

Hopefully the only “falling out” in this commander game will be the cards ha ha ha.
