WNL Baldur's on Baldur's on Baldur's @MentalMisplay | Live EDH | MTG Gameplay

The game featured a dynamic four-player Commander battle with each pilot bringing distinct strategies and synergies from the Battle for Baldur's Gate set and other cards.

John played Jon Irenicus, Shattered One, focusing on manipulating combat by giving opponents creatures and goading them, aiming to control the board with this unique form of combat manipulation.

Lucas piloted Shabraz, the Skyshark, leveraging a flying shark theme to draw cards and generate a large, aggressive flying creature to pressure opponents.

Alan brought Wilson, Refined Grizzly paired with Cultist of the Absolute, a deck built around flying bears and sacrifice mechanics to gain incremental advantages while managing the cost of sacrificing creatures.

Colin fielded Burakos, Party Leader with the Folk Hero background, focusing on party synergies and drawing cards by casting creatures that share types, enabling a value engine that rewards tribal unity and board presence. Early plays involved ramp and setup with key cards like Mystic Remora slowing down opponents and Oozolith providing recursion.

The game shifted as players deployed their signature commanders and began leveraging unique abilities—John gifting creatures to opponents to be attacked, Lucas building a formidable flying shark, Alan cycling sacrifice fodder, and Colin drawing off party synergies.

Key turning points included board control shifts via combat manipulation and the threat of large flying creatures, while players balanced aggressive and value-driven tactics.

The interplay of sacrifice triggers, card draw engines, and combat tricks created a tense and interactive midgame.

The overall win condition appeared to revolve around either overwhelming air superiority, incremental sacrifice value, or party synergy card advantage, depending on the player’s deck.
