Gameplay Summary
The game began with all four players ramping and establishing their board states, each leveraging their commander's unique mechanics.
Zimone, Mystery Unraveler focused on landfall triggers and manifesting cards face down, building a slow but steady advantage.
Setzer, Wandering Gambler emphasized vehicles and treasure tokens, relying on coin flips to generate resources and deliver incremental pressure through combat.
The Capitoline Triad deployed a large artifact-centric strategy involving historic spells and graveyard recursion to eventually obtain a powerful emblem that turns all permanents into massive creatures.
Rendmaw, Creaking Nest centered around synergistic artifact-creature interactions and generating bird tokens to protect itself while supporting tribal synergies with cards like Code of Arms and Species Specialist. Key moments included Setzer attacking to flip coins for treasures and combat advantage, though luck was inconsistent.
Rendmaw steadily accrued nest counters on artifact creatures and created token creatures, presenting a growing threat with board presence and defensive birds.
Zimone manipulated face-down permanents and landfall triggers to maintain card advantage and board presence.
The Capitoline Triad's plan to mill and recur historic cards towards an emblem provided a looming late-game threat, though the game was still unfolding mid-way.
Each player demonstrated their deck's core strategy while interactions remained dynamic without a clear immediate winner.
