Summary

The multiplayer Commander game featured four decks piloted by Nalia de'Arnise, Grumgully, the Generous, Krydle of Baldur's Gate, and Valduk, Keeper of the Flame. Early turns saw players developing their boards with mana and creatures supporting their respective synergies. Krydle focused on unblockable creatures and card draw through combat damage triggers, while Grumgully leveraged +1/+1 counters on humans to grow their board and generate value. Nalia aimed to assemble a party of different creature types to maximize party synergies and generate incremental value, and Valduk sought to equip cheap equipment and produce elementals to apply pressure. Key plays included Krydle using evasive creatures and paying mana to keep them unblockable, drawing additional cards and scrying to maintain advantage. Grumgully capitalized on combat damage triggers to draw cards and grow threats, while Nalia steadily built a party with clerics and rogues, deploying creatures that triggered effects when damaged or on death. Valduk aggressively attacked by creating elementals and using equipment to enhance his commander, pressuring opponents and forcing decisions.
