Summary
The game started with all players building their boards and setting up their strategies. Sam, piloting the Disciplined Duelist, focused on Voltron strategies, loading up the commander with auras, while Ethan was building an Elemental tribal army with Risen Reef. Cameron, on the other hand, was trying to exploit enter-the-battlefield triggers with Soulherder, and Caden was aiming to gain cards and mana advantage with the pirate tribal deck helmed by Malcolm and Breeches. Notable interactions occurred when Caden's Rashadian Cutpurse forced Ethan and Cameron to sacrifice their 1/1 flyers due to being tapped out, and when Caden negated Sam's attempt to cast Steel of the Godhead on his commander. The game was cut short before a clear victor could be determined.
