Summary

The game begins with players introducing their Final Fantasy-themed preconstructed decks, each led by a unique commander that reflects their favorite Final Fantasy installment. Yuna, Grand Summoner focuses on ramping mana and growing herself through counters, Terra, Herald of Hope emphasizes recursion and flying threats, Cloud, Ex-SOLDIER leverages equipment synergies and card draw for value, and Y'shtola, Night's Blessed capitalizes on dealing damage through spells and drawing cards. Early turns include setting up mana bases and deploying utility creatures like Tataru to generate card advantage and treasures. As the game progresses, players start to develop their board states, with Terra utilizing graveyard recursion to bring back small creatures, Y'shtola aiming to trigger damage and life gain combos, and Cloud drawing cards through aggressive equipment attachments. Yuna remains a potent threat by consistently growing larger through +1/+1 counters and leveraging graveyard interactions. The key turning points revolve around maximizing each commander's strengths: Terra's ability to return creatures from the graveyard, Cloud's explosive card draw and treasure generation, and Y'shtola's incremental damage and life gain from noncreature spells. The game likely culminates in one of these commanders overwhelming the others through sustained board presence and card advantage.
