Summary

The game began with players choosing from four evenly built two-color decks, each led by a distinctive commander focused on unique tribal synergies. Vince piloted Rohgahh, Kher Keep Overlord, leveraging a synergy between Cobalts and Dragons to build an army of creatures and generate flying tokens. Dan played Pia Nalaar, Consul of Revival, focusing on an artifact creature tribal strategy that capitalizes on creating haste-enabled Thopter tokens through spells and lands played from exile. Chris took control of Kastral, the Windcrested, emphasizing a bird tribal deck that gains value from dealing combat damage by placing birds onto the battlefield and drawing cards or boosting his existing birds. Mr. Eldrazi commanded Ygra, Eater of All, a deck built around food tokens and sacrifice mechanics, turning creatures into food artifacts and using them to grow Ygra while generating life and board control.
