Summary

The game started off with all four players deploying their commanders and setting up their respective game plans. Tivit seemed to be in a somewhat unfavorable position with a hand that couldn't do much against the impending threat of Gyruda and Tayam. The turning point was when Hidden, playing Tivit, baited out a Mana Drain from Nybar, piloting Gyruda, with a Chain of Vapor. This allowed Hidden to play Thassa's Oracle and Demonic Consultation for the win without fear of counterspells, as Nybar's only other card was Force of Negation which couldn't counter the Demonic Consultation.
