Summary

The game started with each player developing their board state and showcasing their commanders' strategies. Ashlen's Olivia, Crimson Bride deck set up early reanimation capabilities, while Murph's Kelsien, the Plague deck started to pick off creatures from the board. Jake's Kodama of the West Tree deck built a sizable board with trample-ready creatures, and Jordan's Samut, Voice of Dissent deck took advantage of haste and tap effects. As the game progressed, tension rose with multiple board wipes and power swings. The players' strategies were put to the test as they navigated complex interactions and disruption from their opponents. Despite the escalating threats and board states, one player was able to secure a dominant position and eventually clinch the game.
