Gameplay Summary

The duel commander match between Grist, the Hunger Tide, and Titania, Protector of Argoth, showcased a clash of two graveyard and land-focused strategies.

Grist leveraged its ability to generate food tokens and apply pressure through incremental damage and sacrifice synergies, aiming to control the board and grind out value.

Titania, on the other hand, sought to ramp aggressively by repeatedly returning lands to the battlefield and generating a flood of elemental tokens, turning the land base into a formidable army.

Key turning points revolved around board wipes and the timing of land recursion, with Titania capitalizing on land drops to build a wide board presence, while Grist attempted to disrupt and stabilize with removal and sacrifice outlets.

The game likely culminated in a decisive swing from Titania's overwhelming token army or Grist's attrition through value engines and combat damage.
