Summary

The game began with players setting up their mana bases while establishing early board presence. Sidisi, Brood Tyrant focused on milling cards to generate a growing army of zombies, leveraging creatures like Ramanup Excavator, Geeser and Gerolf, and Lords such as Lord of the Accursed to buff her undead horde. Meanwhile, Tuvasa the Sunlit aimed to build a voltron strategy, enhancing her commander with auras and enchantments like Shield of the Oversoul and Thassa, God of the Sea, relying on enchantress effects to draw through the deck quickly. Fynn, the Fangbearer pursued a poison counter victory by deploying numerous low-cost Deathtouch creatures and evasive threats, steadily applying pressure with poison counters rather than direct life loss. Rograkh, Son of Rohgahh paired with Ardenn, Intrepid Archaeologist focused on equipping Rograkh cheaply and efficiently to deal heavy commander damage, utilizing equipment cards like Shadow Spear and Gold Vane Pickaxe and the ability to attach equipment without paying equip costs.
