Gameplay Summary

The game featured four players piloting powerful and thematic Commander decks centered around Dragons, Angels, and multicolor value.

The Ur-Dragon deck built around a massive flying 10/10 Dragon Avatar that reduced the cost of other Dragon spells while providing card draw and land deployment on attacks.

This deck focused on assembling and casting a critical mass of Dragons to dominate the board.

Meanwhile, the Gisela, the Broken Blade deck leveraged flying lifelink creatures and eventually merged with another creature to form Brisela, a strong threat capable of swinging combat decisively.

The Esika, God of the Tree deck emphasized ramp, versatile mana production, and cheating powerful creatures or planeswalkers into play thanks to The Prismatic Bridge.

Lastly, the Tiamat deck looked to cheat Dragons directly from the deck and use incremental value and board presence from Dragon synergy.
