Summary

The game began with each player introducing their decks, all of which were considered fair by their owners. Voxy started with Prossh, Skyraider of Kher, a classic commander known for generating Kobolds based on its mana cost. Joey played a flying tribal deck led by Kangee, Sky Warden, focusing on buffing flying creatures. Kyle's deck featured Shorikai, Genesis Engine, a Boros vehicles deck aimed at grinding card advantage, while The Professor piloted a Feather, the Redeemed deck that revolves around casting spells on creatures and bouncing them back to hand for reuse. Early turns saw players developing their mana bases and laying down key enchantments such as Luminarc Ascension, which could generate angels, and Earthcraft, enabling mana acceleration by untapping lands. Feather cast spells like Smothering Tithe, which added strong resource advantages. As the game progressed, players started leveraging their commanders' strengths—Prossh generated token swarms, Kangee boosted flying attackers, and Shorikai provided card draw and vehicle synergy. The game featured strategic plays around managing enchantments and attacking to remove problematic permanents. A notable tension was around the Luminarc Ascension counters, which threatened to produce flying tokens, forcing opponents to respond quickly. The game was a balanced contest of board development, resource management, and timing of attacks, showcasing the fun and fairness of the decks in an interactive multiplayer environment.
