March Commandness - East and West Round Four

Graphic by the author

Welcome back to round four of EDHREC's March Commandness Bracket Tournament! In this article, we'll look at who won the matchups from round three in the East and West conferences, and then kick off the next round of voting.

But first, in case you missed the announcement article explaining what this all is, head here to get the lowdown. TL;DR, we're doing a bracket system tournament, but instead of college basketball teams, we're battling the top 64 new commanders from the last five years.

And you decide the winner by voting.

Winner: Valgavoth (53.9%)

Valgavoth, Harrower of Souls

Our last 1-seed has fallen. It took a haunted house Elder Demon to finally take down Sauron.

Match Two - Isshin, Two Heavens as OneIsshin, Two Heavens as One (3) vs Ms. BumbleflowerMs. Bumbleflower (2)

Winner: Ms. Bumbleflower (57.9%)

Ms. Bumbleflower

A Samurai has fallen to a Citizen. Bumbleflower has been killing 'em with kindness all tournament, and doesn't show signs of stopping.

West Conference - Round Two Winners

Winner: Glarb (55.8%)

Glarb, Calamity's Augur

Big upset here in a battle of the Nobles. The Bloomburrow Frog has finally extinguished Azula's fire.

Match Four - Frodo, Adventurous HobbitFrodo, Adventurous Hobbit + Sam, Loyal AttendantSam, Loyal Attendant (6) vs Sephiroth, Fabled SOLDIERSephiroth, Fabled SOLDIER (7)

Winner: Frodo & Sam (53.6%)

Frodo, Adventurous Hobbit
Sam, Loyal Attendant

Y'shtola, Sauron, Azula, Vivi, and Mothman have all fallen. Frodo & Sam are now the only Universes Beyond commanders left in this tournament. With how close their matchup with Miirym was, I expected Sephiroth to make quick work of the hobbits. I was quite wrong.

Here's the full East conference bracket.
