Summary

The game began with players deploying their commanders and setting up early board presence. Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow, utilized ninjutsu to repeatedly deal small amounts of unblockable damage while revealing impactful cards, gradually building towards a lethal pivot doomsday combo. Meanwhile, Skull’s Eligeth and Siani flying men deck focused on aggressive small evasive creatures augmented with card draw and extra turns to press combat advantage. Gabe's Jeska and Kraum deck leveraged Jeska’s triple strike and Kraum's card draw engine along with pump spells and extra combat steps to maximize damage output in bursts. Proxy’s Teferi deck aimed for a slower, artifact mana-accelerated chainveil combo, relying on creating loops with mana-producing artifacts and chainveil to eventually take over the game.
