Summary

The game started with each player revealing their unique New Year's resolution-themed decks, with a variety of strategies and Commander choices on display. Early turns saw a significant focus on mana ramp and setting up defenses, with a particular emphasis on Mill strategies from the Sidisi, Brood Tyrant player. As the game progressed, key interactions and strategic decisions led to shifts in board state and tempo. However, without complete information on the late game, it's challenging to pinpoint the exact win condition or victor.
