Gameplay Summary
The game features a dynamic interaction among four players, each piloting unique commanders with distinct synergy themes.
Early turns develop the board with ramp and token generation, setting the stage for midgame combat and strategic plays.
Chatterfang capitalizes on creating and proliferating squirrel tokens, steadily growing a wide board presence.
Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad leverages his assassin-themed abilities to produce more assassin tokens and pressure opponents through combat and card advantage, occasionally copying attackers for incremental value.
Saryth, the Viper's Fang brings a mono-green strategy focusing on mana ramp and enhancing creatures with deathtouch and hexproof, while Jinnie Fay, Jetmir's Second aims to flood the board with cat tokens to overwhelm opponents.
The absence of blue leads to a game reliant on creature combat, ramp, and creature synergies rather than counterspells or instant-speed interaction.
Key moments include Altaïr's use of his attack trigger to exile and clone creatures for aggressive plays, and Chatterfang's evolution and token multiplication to apply board pressure.
The game revolves around incremental board state advantages and combat tricks, with no single dominant combo apparent early on.
The interactions focus on attrition, token wars, and efficient creature removal, setting up a tense midgame where board control and synergy exploitation are crucial.
