Summary

The game featured four competitive Commander decks piloted by experienced players: Sisay, Weatherlight Captain; Galazeth Prismari; Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow; and Deadpool, Trading Card. Early turns involved setting up mana acceleration and key artifacts, such as Mana Vault, Chrome Mox, and Prize Statue, along with important lands like Ancient Tomb and Command Tower. The Galazeth player focused on treasure generation while Yuriko utilized ninjutsu and evasive creatures to pressure opponents. Sisay's pilot established a powerful combo-centric board state by turn three through a sequence of plays involving multiple activations of Bloom Tender and flickering planeswalkers like Sahili Ry and Aatu, leveraging Sisay’s ability to tutor legendary permanents. This rapid mana generation and flicker synergy enabled an infinite mana loop, producing a board state where Sahili’s ping abilities could systematically eliminate all opponents. The game ended swiftly after Sisay’s player executed the infinite combo and pinged opponents out of the game, showcasing the deck’s explosive storm potential and combo finish.
