Gameplay Summary

The game features a nostalgic clash between four original Commander legends: Akroma, Baron Sengir, Kamahl, and Sakashima the Impostor.

Seth pilots Akroma, building a mono-white angel tribal deck emphasizing Akroma's aggressive flying vigilance and first strike abilities.

Richard plays Baron Sengir, focusing on a vampire tribal deck centered around +2/+2 counters and combat tricks, including some classic cards like Royal Assassin.

Krim uses Sakashima the Impostor, taking advantage of cloning and copying powerful creatures on the board, aiming to mimic the other players' threats with flexible blue control.

Tomer commands Kamahl, Fist of Krosa, with a budget mono-green deck focused on ramping mana and utilizing Kamahl's ability to animate lands and pump creatures for a big overrun effect. Early gameplay highlights include aggressive board development with Akroma's angel synergy and Baron Sengir's counter-based vampire threats, while Sakashima waits to copy high-impact creatures and Kamahl ramps up mana to unleash large pump spells.

Strategic plays revolve around forcing combat, protecting key creatures, and leveraging unique commander abilities.

The game features several pivotal moments with combat damage distributing counters on Baron Sengir, Sakashima cloning critical creatures, and Kamahl generating explosive turns through mana acceleration.

The win condition seems to revolve around overwhelming opponents with either flying angel beaters, pumping a growing board state, or leveraging cloning to create multiple threats.

The interplay of these OG commanders highlights the strengths and quirks of their original designs while offering a fun and tactical multiplayer experience.
