Gameplay Summary

The game started with players establishing their board states through ramp and early creatures, with Lord Windgrace leveraging ramp and landfall triggers to quickly build a strong mana base and establish a threatening board presence.

Alesha focused on reanimating creatures and assembling value through attacks, while Feather aimed to generate card advantage and apply pressure with multiple combat triggers.

Kemba sought to flood the board with equipment-enhanced cats, aiming to overwhelm opponents with sheer numbers. A pivotal moment occurred when Lord Windgrace cast Savage Twister to clear the board, but Feather's God's Willing protected itself, allowing Feather to maintain presence and create an illusion token.

This board wipe shifted the momentum, but Windgrace's Ob Nixilis the Fallen kept growing stronger through repeated land drops and life drain, maintaining a significant threat.

Alesha attempted to dig for key combo pieces using Entomb and tutors but faced disruption from opponents.

Feather continued applying pressure through combat tricks and card draw spells, aiming to close out the game with commander damage. The game was marked by strategic land drops, timely interaction with tutors, and well-timed board wipes.

Windgrace's ability to ramp and recur creatures combined with Ob Nixilis's growing power represented a major threat, while Feather's resilience and card advantage created ongoing pressure.

Kemba's equipment synergy and token generation added to the chaotic board state, making it a dynamic multiplayer battle of value and tempo.
