Gameplay Summary

The game began with the players using preconstructed decks from the March of the Machine set, each led by a new commander.

They played with the planechase format, adding a layer of unpredictability to the game.

Early on, a series of plane changes led to the creation of numerous sliver tokens, significantly boosting the players' creature count.

However, a plane change to Riptide Island proved to be a game-changer, as it created 2-1-1 colorless sliver creature tokens at the beginning of each upkeep.

During the game, Bright-Palm, Soul Awakener made effective use of the backup mechanic to put multiple +1/+1 counters on creatures, setting the stage for powerful attacks.

The Gimbal, Gremlin Prodigy deck also made a significant impact, creating a host of artifact tokens.
