Summary

The game featured a dynamic and interactive multiplayer Commander match with five players piloting distinct decks. Early on, ramp and land destruction strategies came into play, particularly from Carlos who leveraged land destruction spells alongside Crucible of Worlds and Life from the Loam to maintain land advantage. Dave, playing Prime Speaker Zegana, focused on ramp and drawing cards through efficient creatures and spells, eventually deploying Zegana to dig deeply into his deck and replenish his hand. Jason utilized Chainer, Dementia Master to repeatedly reanimate creatures from his graveyard, enabling recurring threats and combos with cards like Gray Merchant of Asphodel and Altar of Dementia to drain opponents' life totals and mill cards.
