Summary

The game featured the command decks of Sefris, Ragavan, Rakdos, and Pia Nalaar. The early stages of the game involved players setting up their board states, with players casting their commanders and supporting artifacts. The first major swing came when Jason cast a 'Wild Magic Surge' to destroy an opponent's creature, causing some unexpected interactions. Later in the game, a 'Blastoma Edict' was cast, forcing a mass creature sacrifice that significantly shifted the board state. Despite the disruption, Pia Nalaar's deck managed to leverage 'Mongre Glory Dominus', 'Delme Streetwise Lookout', and 'Uba Mask' to create a substantial presence of thopter tokens and maintain card advantage. The game ended with a significant blow dealt by Pia Nalaar's deck, dealing a massive amount of damage with 'Outpost Siege' in conjunction with multiple creature sacrifices.
