Summary

The multiplayer Commander game featured four players piloting distinctive decks: Krenko, Mob Boss; Marisi, Breaker of the Coil; Neyith of the Dire Hunt; and Admiral Beckett Brass. Early game development saw Krenko establishing a wide goblin token presence with support from Goblin Warchief and Goblin Welder, while Admiral Beckett Brass focused on generating treasure tokens and controlling opponents' creatures with Merchant Raiders. Marisi utilized aggressive goading mechanics to force attacks and disrupt board states, while Neyith developed a more midrange strategy with creatures like Tangarth and Overworld Tracker to control combat outcomes. Key moments included Beckett Brass activating powerful treasure generation through Curse of Opulence and Rules of Four, enabling artifact tutoring and mana ramp. Krenko's explosive token generation peaked with Shared Animosity, though it was promptly neutralized by Marisi's Oblation. A pivotal shift occurred when Beckett Brass stole Brody's Frontier Siege, amplifying her mana and threat output. Despite heavy pressure, Krenko maintained dominance by casting Goblin Trashmaster to pump tokens and push lethal damage. The game progressed with aggressive combat phases where goaded creatures and tactical removal shaped board control. Ultimately, the overwhelming goblin swarm and synergy with Trashmaster allowed Krenko to secure victory by eliminating Admiral Beckett Brass.
