Summary
The game was largely dominated by Matt with his Elsha, Threefold Master deck. Early on, Matt managed to summon his commander and quickly amass an army of monk tokens with the help of Shared Animosity and Code of Arms. Jason attempted to hold Matt's assault by blocking and convoking a Court of Calling, but it proved insufficient as Matt's unblockable commander and substantial token army overpowered him. However, Michael tried to disrupt Matt's strategy by using Beast Within on Code of Arms, only to be countered by Matt's Fierce Guardianship. Ultimately, Matt's strategy proved too powerful, allowing him to take down his opponents one by one.
