Gameplay Summary
The gameplay features a Duel Commander match between three decks led by Karlov of the Ghost Council, Lurrus of the Dream-Den, and Titania, Protector of Argoth.
Throughout the game, Titania's deck leverages landfall triggers and recurring lands to generate a strong board presence.
Karlov's deck capitalizes on life gain synergies and uses Karlov's ability to grow and remove threats efficiently.
Lurrus acts as a companion here, providing value through recurring low-cost permanents, supporting the aggressive and controlling strategies of the Karlov deck. Key turning points include strategic trades and life gain spikes by Karlov's player, which allowed Karlov to grow larger and dispatch Titania's threats.
Meanwhile, Titania's player attempts to rebuild the board with landfall and land recursion, creating a persistent threat that pressures opponents.
The match likely culminated with Karlov securing a win through incremental life gain and removal, leveraging the synergy with Lurrus to maintain board control and outvalue the ramp-focused Titania deck.
