Gameplay Summary

The game featured four highly competitive Commander decks, each aiming to execute their powerful and fast-paced strategies.

Early on, K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth quickly established board presence and card advantage by leveraging life payment to cast spells cheaply and recurring creatures from the graveyard.

Peter's K'rrik deck executed a deadly loop involving Chain of Smog and Professor Onyx, draining opponents' life repeatedly until they were all defeated.

Meanwhile, Mike piloted Najeela the Blade-Blossom, aggressively creating warriors and extra combat steps to pressure opponents, with a strong early Dockside Extortionist ramp to generate treasure tokens and accelerate his game plan.

Ryan’s Godo deck aimed to generate infinite combat phases using Helm of the Host combos, while Shaun's Dargo and Thrasios deck sought to generate infinite mana and draw through the deck, though he faced difficulties with early risky mulligans and limited action initially.
