Summary

The game began with a diverse set of commanders, each bringing unique strategies to the table. Depala, Pilot Exemplar led an aggressive dwarves and vehicles deck, focusing on boosting creatures and using vehicles with evasion to steadily chip away at opponents. Voxy piloted Thantis, the Warweaver, leveraging a jund-themed deck that rewards attacking with multiple creatures, gaining counters to grow Thantis and applying pressure through combat. Jaheira, Friend of the Forest teamed up with Agent of the Iron Throne to execute a food token aristocrats strategy, sacrificing creatures to generate food tokens and using those tokens to sustain the board and trigger value. Meanwhile, Urza, Prince of Kroog's deck was artifact-centric, focusing on artifact production and copying, aiming for powerful board states via synergies with artifacts. The early turns saw key plays like Witch's Oven enabling food creation and the deployment of vehicles to build board presence. As the game progressed, aggressive attacks and synergistic creature buffs shaped the tempo, with each player working towards their win condition—whether through combat damage, aristocrats-style sacrifice and token value, or overwhelming artifact combos.
