Summary

The game featured four commanders focused on generating and leveraging Treasure tokens to achieve overwhelming advantage. Early turns saw players developing their mana bases and deploying aggressive or value creatures to build pressure. Korvold, Fae-Cursed King, quickly established dominance by accumulating Treasure tokens, which fueled explosive plays. Key moments included Korvold repeatedly sacrificing Treasures to draw cards and put +1/+1 counters on himself, enabling a potent card advantage engine. Meanwhile, Ognis, the Dragon's Lash, capitalized on haste and Treasure generation to maintain aggressive tempo and create additional artifacts. A pivotal turning point occurred when Korvold dealt combat damage, generating a massive number of Treasure tokens proportional to opponents' artifacts. This influx of resources allowed Korvold to chain multiple powerful spells and triggers, overwhelming the table. Attempts to respond were ineffective against the sheer volume of tokens and card draw. The game ended with Korvold turning his Treasure hoard into lethal advantage, demonstrating the deck's ruthless synergy and efficiency in Treasure token exploitation.
