Summary

The multiplayer Commander game featured four distinct decks each piloted by different players: Reaper King, Trostani, Mayael the Anima, and Savra, Queen of the Golgari. Trostani's deck focused on populating and life gain strategies, generating tokens and using them to overwhelm opponents. Mayael the Anima played a big creature ramp deck, aiming to cheat large creatures into play quickly and leverage fight mechanics with Guild Feud. Reaper King centered on a theme of scarecrow creatures, aiming to control the board by destroying permanents and leveraging its tribal synergy. Savra, Queen of the Golgari, focused on sacrificing creatures and recurring them via powerful black enchantments, creating value through death and reanimation effects. Early in the game, the players jockeyed for board presence with token generation and ramp. Trostani's populating and life gain steadily increased her board's size, threatening a storm herd finisher. Mayael aimed to cheat big creatures into play, supported by Guild Feud to force fights and generate card advantage. Reaper King kept board control threats active, destroying problematic permanents, while Savra leveraged sacrifice outlets and enchantments to maintain a steady flow of creatures and incremental advantage. Key turning points included a fight initiated by Guild Feud that disrupted Mayael's board, and strategic use of sacrifice and reanimation by Savra to outvalue opponents. The game revolved around managing board state, creature recursion, and efficient removal to maintain tempo and set up for a decisive attack or combo finish.
