Summary

The game began with each player establishing their mana base and early board presence. Baeloth's goad-themed deck with Raised by Giants set the stage for forced combat and chaotic interactions, while Omnath, Locus of Creation focused on ramp and landfall triggers to gain value. Veyran, Voice of Duality leveraged spell casting and copy effects to build advantage, and Obosh, the Preypiercer played a risky, damage-dealing Rakdos strategy with self-inflicted damage and aggressive board control. Early plays included ramp spells and the deployment of key creatures like Domri and Kodama's Repossession, which facilitated card advantage and board presence. The introduction of Obosh created tension with damage spreading effects, forcing opponents to consider combat carefully. Baeloth's goad ability pressured opponents into forced combat, causing swings and blocking decisions that shaped the flow. Veyran’s copy triggers and spell interactions added layers of strategic complexity. Midgame, players began to leverage their commanders’ unique abilities more aggressively, with Obosh threatening board wipes via odd damage, Omnath capitalizing on landfall, and Baeloth pushing forced attacks to disrupt opponents’ plans. The gameplay was characterized by dynamic board states, tactical combat decisions, and incremental advantage builds, leading toward a climactic phase where goad triggers and damage combos threatened to close out the game.
