Gameplay Summary

The game began with each player establishing their mana base and setting the stage for their color-shifted commander strategies.

Rocco, Street Chef enabled a unique group-hug style milling strategy, exiling cards from each player's library and allowing those cards to be played from exile, all while generating food tokens and +1/+1 counters.

Phil's Bello, Bard of the Brambles leveraged milling synergy as well, with cards like Exhibition Tidecaller triggering mills on instant and sorcery casts.

Tomer's Muldrotha, the Gravetide deck focused on graveyard recursion, aiming to extract value from cards that had been milled or discarded, fitting well with a Lorehold (red/white) color shift.

Morgan piloted Aang, Swift Savior in white and blue, focusing on blink and control elements with cards like Conjurer's Closet to maximize value and maintain board presence.

Early game development saw a mix of ramp spells, fetch lands, and card draw to prepare for mid-game plays.
