Gameplay Summary

The game began with each player opening a booster box from the Unfinity set, building decks with a mix of quirky and unconventional cards unique to the Un-sets, including box toppers and galaxy foil cards.

Players explored the unusual mechanics like Attractions that require dice rolls each upkeep, and the creative token interactions such as Surprise Party producing clown robot tokens.

Early gameplay focused on deck-building choices, with players debating commanders like The Most Dangerous Gamer, Phoebe, Head of S.N.E.A.K., and Comet, Stellar Pup, emphasizing synergies with the set's whimsical themes and mechanics. Key moments included the players discovering powerful and flavorful cards such as the funhouse land that can generate infinite uncolored mana under specific conditions, and the Grand Calcatron that reshapes gameplay by limiting how players play cards from their hand.

The interaction of permanent stealing effects and text box exchanges hinted at a strategy revolving around control and value generation.

As the game progressed, players adapted to the unusual cards and mechanics, leveraging token creation, text box manipulation, and dice-based random effects to gain advantage and shift board state.

The blend of chaotic and strategic play demonstrated the unique appeal of Unfinity in a Commander format.
