Summary
The game featured a competitive four-player match centered around assembling the Coalition Victory, with each player piloting a deck led by commanders focused on enchantments and synergy. Early turns saw players ramping mana aggressively with lands like Overgrown Tomb, Breeding Pool, and various fetch lands, while deploying creatures that support enchantment strategies or generate value such as Birds of Paradise and Impending Overlord. Goshi of Life's Origin was instrumental in recurring enchantments from the graveyard, helping maintain board presence. Omnath, Locus of All, leveraged landfall and elemental synergies to generate additional resources and pressure opponents. Meanwhile, coalition-related enchantments and cards like Starfield Mystic reduced spell costs and built counters, accelerating the enchantment-heavy game plan. Key turning points included the casting of Gifts Ungiven to sculpt hands and the use of Aftermath Analyst to mill and return lands, which facilitated explosive mana plays. The interaction of Shifting Woodlands with delirium and graveyard enabled a powerful recursion loop, returning impactful creatures to the battlefield. Removal spells and counters were traded to maintain tempo, while players carefully managed life totals amidst the aggressive land plays and damage. The game was a back-and-forth battle of building enchantment synergies, resource advantage, and board control, culminating in the struggle to fulfill the Coalition Victory condition by assembling and maintaining the required enchantments on the battlefield.
