Summary

In this Commander VS gameplay, four unique decks battle it out, with each player having chosen their deck by spinning a wheel. The game kicks off with a wide variety of strategies, from Venser's counter-heavy tactics to Gahiji's beast tribal, Sisay's land creature focus, and Kuon's sacrifice-oriented play. The game was full of twists and turns, with each player trying to outmaneuver the others and seize control of the board. Notable moments included a tense standoff between Venser and Kuon, with the latter's sacrifice strategy putting a severe damper on Venser's counter-based game plan.
