Summary

The game begins with the players deploying their commanders and setting up their board states. Notably, Wilhelt, the Rotcleaver, makes use of his abilities to generate a decent zombie army. Saheeli, Radiant Creator, on the other hand, focuses on artifact synergies, generating value with her ability to copy artifacts. The Celestial Toymaker player, meanwhile, takes advantage of his commander's ability to create piles, dealing damage to his opponents. Zahur, Glory's Past, doesn't show much action until later in the game, when he uses a well-timed Damnation to wipe the board, significantly changing the game's direction. After a series of intense turns, the game ends with a powerful swing from Max's creatures, aided by Saheeli's ability to create artifact copies.
