Gameplay Summary

This Commander game featured four aggressive and synergistic decks led by General Ferrous Rokiric, Zabaz the Glimmerwasp, Thrasta Tempest's Roar, and Lonis Cryptozoologist.

The game unfolded with players jockeying for board presence and incremental value, leveraging the unique strengths of their commanders.

Thrasta looked to build a large, aggressive board with the help of its ability to generate additional combat phases, aiming for a swift and overwhelming offense.

Lonis sought to utilize its cryptid-themed synergies, focusing on flipping creatures to generate advantage and disrupt opponents.

General Ferrous Rokiric focused on creating golem tokens and utilizing artifact synergies for value and board control, while Zabaz aimed to capitalize on blink and enter-the-battlefield effects for incremental advantage and tempo swings. Key turning points included General Ferrous Rokiric establishing a token army that provided both offense and defense, staving off early aggression.

Thrasta's aggressive pushes with multiple combat phases threatened to quickly reduce opponents' life totals.

Zabaz's enter-the-battlefield and blink interactions created recurring value, enabling steady card advantage and board presence.

Lonis's disruption and flip mechanics created tactical complexity, slowing down opponents and enabling a midgame advantage.

The win condition revolved around overwhelming opponents with either combat damage through Thrasta or token swarms from Ferrous Rokiric, backed by incremental value and tempo plays from Zabaz and Lonis.

Ultimately, the game showcased dynamic interactions between aggressive strategies and value engines from the new Modern Horizons 2 legends.
