Summary

The game began with players setting up their boards, each focusing on their commanders' unique strategies. One player launched a mono-green Voltron-style deck, focusing on enhancing their commander with equipment and enchantments to quickly build a powerful, single threat. Another player ran a mono-black Braids, Arisen Nightmare deck that leveraged the graveyard and zombie synergies to control the board and disrupt opponents. The Gruul Hans Eriksson deck aimed to cheat out big creatures and used a unique fight mechanic that involved forcing creatures, including the commander, to fight, enabling the player to establish a dominant board presence. The final deck, Horde of Notions, was focused on a more elemental and token-summoning strategy, aiming to overwhelm opponents with multiple threats.
