Gameplay Summary

The game started with each player establishing their board presence through ramp and token generation.

Rith, the Awakener focused on creating a large number of green sapperling tokens by dealing combat damage with their dragon commander and leveraging permanents of a chosen color.

Iymrith, Desert Doom played a big blue creature deck, emphasizing casting large creatures and drawing cards when the commander dealt damage.

The Raven Man deck revolved around discard synergies and producing flying bird tokens for defensive and offensive pressure.

Faldorn, Dread Wolf Herald aimed to generate wolf tokens by casting spells from exile and lands entering the battlefield from exile, creating a steady stream of creatures and leveraging the commander’s ability to discard and exile cards to fuel plays. As the game progressed, key turning points included Faldorn securing multiple wolves with hexproof and indestructible through Heroic Intervention, swinging commander damage to a player, and Rith summoning a large dragon that generated multiple sapperlings based on the color permanents on the battlefield.

Kyle’s Hornet Queen brought significant flying blockers to protect his board and pressure opponents.

The interaction between Rith's token generation and Kyle’s insect tokens created a wide and threatening board state.

Meanwhile, The Raven Man's discard and bird tokens provided some defense but struggled against the aerial threats.

The game state evolved with players trading damage and building boards, while strategic plays, such as bouncing Hornet Queen and controlling key threats, shaped the pace.

The game was characterized by a battle of token armies, commanders dealing steady damage, and careful resource management to maintain board presence and win conditions.
