The game featured four distinct commanders and strategies clashing in a high-power EDH setting. Early turns saw ramp and setup plays from all players, with notable interaction including a key counterspell on Cultivate that slowed green ramp. The First Sliver player focused on flooding the board with a variety of Sliver creatures, leveraging their tribal synergies and abilities like deathtouch from Toxic Sliver to control combat. Tovolar's werewolf deck used a mix of stax elements and aggressive creatures to pressure opponents, while Wort, the Raidmother, aimed to generate goblin tokens and copy impactful spells to overwhelm the table. Empress Galina's deck revolved around theft and control, including countering spells and stealing opponent's permanents, creating tension and disruption.
