Summary
The game kicked off with a cast of Ezuri, Renegade Leader, leading to an early board advantage with the help of Elvish Spirit Guide and Priest of Titania. Lua, playing Najeela, the Blade-Blossom, attempted to stabilize the board with an early Drannith Magistrate which halted the opponents' ability to cast commanders. However, the game took a significant turn when Stephen, playing Aminatou, the Fateshifter, cast a game-changing Toxic Deluge. This wiped the board, creating a reset and a clear path for his upcoming plays. In the aftermath of the board wipe, Lua managed to get Najeela back on the board. However, a timely Swords to Plowshares saw Najeela removed again, leaving the board wide open. The game continued with players rebuilding their boards and strategizing their paths to victory.
