Summary

The game begins with a swift momentum set by the Grand Warlord Radha player, with a consistent attack on the Liliana player, quickly escalating the commander damage. However, the Radha player struggles with card draw, limiting their advantage despite early mana acceleration provided by their commander. The game takes a significant turn when the Atla Palani player concedes, possibly due to a misstep in casting Kedama's Reach, which is rendered useless by Radha's Stranglehold. The Azami player manages to build up a solid defense and substantial card advantage, setting themselves up for a potential win, all while the Liliana player builds up their board with Ayara and their own commander.
