Gameplay Summary

The game began with players bringing decks that reflect a decade of Commander Clash history, featuring a mix of nostalgic and thematic strategies.

Early turns focused on ramping mana, developing boards with iconic cards like Invisible Stalker and Soul Warden, and setting up foundational elements for each deck's game plan.

Notable early interactions included land bounces and strategic mana plays, such as using Mage-Ring Network for ramp and deploying key lands like Breeding Pool and Mystic Gate to fix colors.

A significant moment involved the targeting and destruction of basic lands with Strip Mine, hinting at a land disruption theme in one of the decks, which created tension around resource availability.

The players also highlighted the tension between aggressive board development and the threat of board wipes, with some players wary of overcommitting due to the presence of numerous Soul Sisters on the battlefield.
