Gameplay Insights

  • 1

    Dihada’s use of Corroding Dragonstorm to repeatedly trigger life loss and life gain while surveilling cards gave her a sustainable advantage in card quality and incremental damage.

  • 2

    Omo’s strategy to place everything counters on opponents’ lands effectively forced them to have multiple land types, enabling unblockable landwalk triggers and disrupting their mana bases.

  • 3

    Kaalia’s Hazoret’s Monument reduced the cost of her aggressive flying creatures, allowing for explosive board development and synergy with discard-draw effects to maintain card flow.

  • 4

    The interaction between Omo’s land-type manipulation and aggressive flying creatures created a unique dynamic where opponents had to carefully consider blocking and combat steps.

Summary

The game began with players establishing their mana bases and setting up early board states, with Dihada aiming to fill the graveyard with dragons and recur them later, Kaalia preparing to deploy powerful demons, dragons, and angels, Omo focusing on manipulating land and creature types with everything counters to enable island and forest walks, and Sisay ramping and setting up for a versatile toolbox strategy. Early plays included the casting of Corroding Dragonstorm by Dihada, which dealt incremental damage and surveilled cards, and Omo transforming lands to disrupt opponents' strategies by granting multiple land types. Kaalia dropped a key threat, Sylvia Brightspear, enhancing her board with double strike and synergizing with mana reduction artifacts like Hazoret's Monument. The dynamic interaction between the decks became evident as Omo's counters began affecting everyone’s lands, while Dihada's dragons started to chip away at life totals. Sisay worked to stabilize through ramp and utility creatures. The game’s tension rose as each player tried to leverage their commander’s unique strengths: Kaalia's heavy hitters, Dihada’s graveyard recursion with dragons, Omo’s land-type manipulation to enable aggressive island and forest walkers, and Sisay’s versatile support and ramp. The board saw escalating threats, with Kaalia's aggressive flying creatures and Dihada's recurring dragons clashing with Omo's disruptive land-type strategies, setting up for big combat phases and potential combos to close out the game.
