Summary

The game featured four players piloting new commanders from the Dominaria United set, each showcasing distinct strategies. Jhoira, Ageless Innovator focused on artifact synergies, playing and cheating out artifacts to overwhelm opponents. Najal, the Storm Runner leveraged extra turn spells and took advantage of spell interactions to gain tempo and additional turns, aiming to control the flow of the game. Soul of Windgrace utilized land recursion and graveyard interactions to generate value, especially with cards like the Gitrog Monster to fuel card advantage and land-based combos. Dihada, Binder of Wills operated as a Mardu planeswalker commander emphasizing legendary permanents, leveraging planeswalkers and synergistic legendary interactions to maintain pressure and board presence. Early turns saw players developing their mana bases and setting up their respective strategies, with Najal aggressively seeking extra turns to extend his plays. Jhoira's artifact engine began to ramp up, enabling free artifact deployment and threatening board domination. Soul of Windgrace's land recursion kept his resources replenished, while Dihada mixed removal and legendary synergies to disrupt opponents. The game’s turning point came when Jhoira unleashed a large board of artifacts, threatening to overwhelm the table, but Najal used consecutive extra turns to stabilize and eventually secure the win by locking opponents out of critical phases. The game highlighted creative use of new Dominaria United cards, interplay between extra turns and artifact synergies, and the power of land recursion in multiplayer Commander.
