Gameplay Summary
The game features a chaotic and dynamic four-player Commander battle with TMNT-themed decks.
Early turns set the tone with players developing their boards, including Rat King flooding the battlefield with rats, Splinter enabling unblockable ninjas and doubling ninja triggers, and Raph & Leo leveraging multiple combat steps to maximize attack triggers.
A key turning point occurs when Splinter's controller casts multiple powerful artifact creatures from exile due to an ability triggered by ninja damage, dramatically swinging board presence and threatening opponents.
Meanwhile, the Raph & Mikey deck tries to cheat out big monsters to stomp the table, while Rat King attempts to overwhelm with sheer numbers.
Combat phases are intense with unblockable creatures, trample, and life gain interactions shaping the flow of damage and resource management.
The game revolves around executing combos and tempo swings, with the multiple combat phases and ninja synergies creating explosive, high-impact turns.
The winner likely emerges from capitalizing on these synergies and board states created by artifact creatures and multiple combat triggers.
