Summary

The game started with a typical slow ramp phase as each player developed their mana base and laid down early creatures. Rodolf Duskbringer focused on building a life link vampire and angel synergy, aiming to drain opponents' life totals gradually. Muldrotha, the Gravetide deployed a graveyard recursion strategy, setting up combos and value plays to dominate the late game. Ashcoat of the Shadow Swarm flooded the board with rats, leveraging synergies like Rat Colony and Predator's Hour to pump them and apply pressure with menace. Drizzt Do'Urden aimed to grow his board presence with big creatures and equip powerful auras and equipment, enhancing Drizzt to be a threatening double strike commander capable of commander damage wins. As the game progressed, rat tokens swarmed the board, and multiple players took damage from combat and triggered life loss effects. Key moments included Ashcoat casting Predator's Hour to grant menace and exile cards from opponents for potential castings, and Drizzt equipping Sword of the Animist to grow and hit harder. Rodolf used his life link triggers and Blood Artist to chip away at opponents, while Muldrotha played Pernicious Deed to clear the board and maintain graveyard advantage. The game saw multiple combat phases where players strategically blocked and attacked, managing damage and life totals carefully. The synergy between Drizzt's double strike and trample from creatures like the Giant Ox made him a serious threat. The game was shaped heavily by board wipes, recursion, and incremental damage from both combat and life loss triggers, with each player trying to leverage their unique deck strengths for a win condition focused on damage, attrition, or graveyard combos.
