Gameplay Summary
The game began with players adapting to a new twist on Commander called Oathbreaker Lite, where each player starts with an instant or sorcery in the command zone that can be cast once before being exiled.
Players also lost one life each upkeep due to an additional 'just ended already' rule, adding pressure to the game pace.
Early turns focused on ramping and setting up board presence, with several players deploying their commanders and generating resources.
Prosper, Tome-Bound created treasure tokens to accelerate his mana and pings, while Tatyova leveraged landfall synergies with her protective instant, Royal Treatment.
Atraxa was brought out early but was quickly neutralized by a timely Aven Mindcensor effect, removing her abilities temporarily.
Daretti focused on graveyard interactions and artifact synergies, using Faithless Looting to cycle cards and fill his graveyard for further plays.
