Gameplay Summary

This game saw a tense matchup between four powerful commanders: Kinnan, Tivit, Malcolm, and Vial Smasher.

The game started off with players quickly establishing their mana bases and deploying their commanders.

The first notable interaction was a controversial play involving Kinnan and a Basalt Monolith, which sparked a heated counter-war.

Phil's Kinnan was subsequently removed by a clever deal between Hidden and Steve, utilizing the Mayhem Devil's ability.

The game continued with players deploying key artifacts and establishing their board presence, with Hidden accumulating a significant amount of treasures due to his Smothering Tithe.
