Summary
The game featured four distinct decks vying for control and victory in a dynamic multiplayer Commander match. Early plays focused on ramp and setting up board presence with incremental value creatures such as Corpse Knight and token generators. Alela, Artful Provocateur established a strong flying token strategy by casting enchantments and artifacts to flood the board with fairies, leveraging the commander’s anthem effect to boost her flyers. Meanwhile, Tymna the Weaver paired with Sidar Kondo applied pressure through aggressive attacks and card draw from combat damage, maintaining a steady tempo. Feldon of the Third Path deployed a graveyard recursion strategy, discarding and cheating large creatures into play to overwhelm opponents, while Phelddagrif aimed to spread hippos around the table and generate political leverage before comboing off for a win.
