Summary

The game started with all four players developing their mana bases and early board presence, with notable ramp and mana generation from the commanders Ramos, Dragon Engine and Yeva, Nature's Herald. General Ferrous Rokiric established a solid early board with Golem tokens and removal, while Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait focused on landfall triggers and token generation. Ramos quickly grew large through +1/+1 counters and multiple ramp spells, becoming a dominant threat by mid-game. Despite heavy mana production and card draw from Yeva's and Ramos's decks, the board state shifted significantly when Ramos survived multiple attempts to remove it and started to control the battlefield with a large, counter-laden presence and tokens from various spells.
