Summary

The game featured four players piloting unique Final Fantasy-themed commanders, each with distinct strategies. Early turns saw the players establishing their boards and setting up their synergies. Golbez focused on artifact accumulation and used surveil triggers to recycle creatures and eventually drain opponents' life totals. Firion leveraged mono-red equipment synergy, casting multiple swords and using his ability to generate discounted equipment copies, aiming to overwhelm opponents with heavily equipped creatures. Garland adopted a reanimator theme, casting instants and sorceries to surveil and fill the graveyard with impactful creatures to be reanimated later, while also progressing towards his transformation into Chaos. Lastly, Cid played an artifact creature tribal deck that pumped his creatures and leveraged artifact synergies to exert pressure with afflict and other effects. The game included pivotal moments such as Garland's surveil triggers enabling graveyard setup, Golbez's artifact threshold to recur creatures and inflict damage, and Firion's aggressive equipment strategy threatening to swing lethal damage. Key interactions involved protection and evasion effects preventing blocks, and strategic discarding to maximize reanimation targets. The match was a dynamic battle of tempo, board development, and value generation, with each player striving to enact their thematic win condition.
