Summary

The game started with all players setting up their boards with a focus on synergy with their commanders and specific strategies involving graveyard interaction, milling, and token generation. Blake, playing The Master, Transcendent, set up a reanimation plan by milling powerful creatures like Archon of Cruelty and Jhinga Tax's Core Auger to later cheat them into play. Gina, with Dogmeat, Ever Loyal, milled cards to fuel her ability to return auras and equipment from the graveyard, creating a resilient equipped creature that generates artifact tokens for further advantage. Shay, piloting Agent Frank Horrigan, aimed to use proliferate mechanics to ramp loyalty counters on powerful planeswalkers like Liliana, Dreadhorde General, threatening to reset the board. Ben's Kaiser, Legion's Emperor deck focused on token creation and leveraging anthem effects like Divine Visitation and Kar's Crusade to overwhelm opponents with a large army of flying soldiers.
