Deck Strategies
Anikthea, Hand of Erebos
Amy played Anikthea, Hand of Erebos, focusing on a classic enchantress strategy with a twist. The deck aimed to get enchantments into the graveyard and then reanimate them as zombies, clearing the path for big finishers.
Zacama, Primal Calamity
Kenji's Zacama, Primal Calamity deck was a big stompy control deck that aimed to ramp up mana quickly in order to unleash a horde of dinosaurs and drive opponents to extinction.
Zhulodok, Void Gorger
Jimmy's Zhulodok, Void Gorger deck aimed to ramp as fast as possible, use the commander's cascade ability to gain value, and then flood the board with huge colorless Eldrazi Titans.
Kykar, Wind's Fury
Josh played Kykar, Wind's Fury, a deck full of cheap non-creature spells that draw cards and control the board. The deck aimed to create a swarm of tokens and then pump them up for an all-out attack.

Summary
The game started off with each player setting up their board states with Kenji and Jimmy taking early leads due to their rapid mana ramp. Amy and Josh, while slower to start, began to establish their strategies with enchantments and card draw engines respectively. The game reached a turning point when Jimmy was able to flood the board with colorless Eldrazi Titans, putting immense pressure on the other players. However, Amy's enchantress strategy gradually gained momentum, allowing her to maintain a strong board presence and withstand the onslaught. The game concluded in a climactic finale with Amy's Anikthea reanimating multiple enchantments, eventually overwhelming her opponents and securing her the victory.
