Summary

The game started with all players quickly establishing their board states by deploying their commanders and ramping mana sources. Teysa leveraged clues to generate spirits and enhance her board presence, while Etrata focused on a stealthy assassin strategy, aiming to deal damage through surprise combat and recurring creatures. Voja capitalized on elves and wolves synergy to grow her army and draw cards, and Alquist pursued investigation and card advantage through clue sacrifice and powerful spell draws. Early turns saw cautious attacks with incremental damage, but the game shifted as players began exploiting their commandersโ€™ unique abilities: Teysaโ€™s sacrifice triggers created flying spirits to pressure opponents, Etrataโ€™s face-down creatures and assassin triggers started applying deadly commander damage, and Alquistโ€™s card draw engines began to fuel deeper plays. Notable interactions included Etrataโ€™s ability to repeatedly turn face-down creatures face-up and cast exiled cards without paying mana, and Teysaโ€™s end step clues generating spirits, steadily building an aggressive board state. The gameโ€™s tension rose as players balanced attacking and defending, with the synergy between clues, tokens, and combat damage forming the core of the evolving battlefield.
