Gameplay Summary
The game began with players deploying their mono-colored decks, each with distinct strategies reflecting their commanders.
The blue player focused on artifacts and vehicles, quickly establishing tempo with early plays like Arcane Signet.
The green player ramped aggressively using creatures like Elvish Visionary to accelerate mana growth.
Meanwhile, the black player leveraged Ob Nixilis of the Black Oath to pressure opponents with removal and life-drain effects, while the white player's angel tribal deck aimed to build a flying army.
The red player piloting Kratos, God of War, adopted a direct and aggressive combat approach, aiming to end the game swiftly through combat damage and board control.
Early turns saw players setting up mana bases and deploying key ramp and utility creatures, with notable moments including the use of Tron lands by the red deck to ramp into Kratos quickly.
As the game progressed, board states evolved with combat exchanges and strategic plays around planeswalkers and artifact synergies.
The interaction between ramp, removal, and aggressive pressure shaped the pace, with the red deck's aggressive nature creating tension while the angel deck sought to stabilize and build a threatening board presence.
