Gameplay Summary

The game started with each player setting up their board states, with Yargle and Multani's player ramping up impressively early, casting their commander Yargle on turn three.

This was followed by equipping Yargle with 'Hot Soup', making the 9/3 frog spirit unblockable.

In a surprise move, Yargle was swung at Arcades, the Strategist's player, dealing a massive 18 commander damage early in the game.

Meanwhile, the other players continued to develop their board states, with Felisa, Fang of Silverquill's player casting 'Suspicious Bookcase' and Vannifar, Evolved Enigma's player casting 'Branching Evolution', setting up for future moves.
