Summary

The game started with all players building up their board state and mana bases. Early turns saw the development of commanders on the battlefield, notably Svella, Ice Shaper, and Jolrael, Voice of Zhalfir. Beezy's Svella started ramping early, aiming to bring out large Gruul beaters. On the other hand, JLK's Jolrael deck showcased its landfall and land animation strategy by turning lands into creatures and forcing pressure on other players. The tempo shifted multiple times, especially when Jolrael made a significant attack by animating multiple lands. However, the transcript ends before the game concludes, and the final winner isn't clear.
