Deck Strategies
Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm
Miirym's deck strategy focuses on generating value from dragon synergies, ramping mana and drawing cards extensively. The deck aims to overwhelm opponents with a large number of dragon creatures and take advantage of their enter-the-battlefield effects.
Lulu, Loyal Hollyphant
Lulu, paired with Cultist of the Absolute, aims to generate advantage through token creation and buffs. The deck uses equipments like Skull Clamp for card draw and battlefield pumps like Elesh Norn and Call of the Coppercoats.
Osgir, the Reconstructor
Osgir's deck utilizes artifacts and their synergies for advantage. The deck leverages Osgir's ability to create copies of exiled artifacts, potentially leading to explosive plays.
Ramos, Dragon Engine
Ramos' deck leverages its commander's ability to generate mana from +1/+1 counters, aiming to cast big spells and generate substantial value. The deck also uses multicolor spells to quickly add counters to Ramos.

Summary
The game started off with each player setting up their boards and resources. The first significant play of the game occurred when Felix, running Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm, cast Kindred Discovery and Chaos Dragon, resulting in a significant card draw and board presence. Marie, piloting Lulu, Loyal Hollyphant, and Cultist of the Absolute, countered this with a well-timed Call to the Copper Coats and Elesh Norn, effectively neutralizing Felix's forces. The game saw several board wipes, notably Max's Blasphemous Act and his devastating Osgir, the Reconstructor play which was thwarted by Marie's Path to Exile. The game ended with a dramatic shift when Felix played a massive sequence of creatures and spells, generating a large amount of mana and card draw with his dragons and Miirym triggers. Despite the efforts of the other commanders, Felix's late-game surge seemed to hold the tide.
