Summary

The game began with both players developing their mana bases and casting early draw spells to build card advantage. The Narset player leveraged planeswalkers like Jace Beleren and Teferi, Master of Time to generate incremental value and card draw, while also deploying creatures such as Esper Sentinel and utilizing spells to proliferate and add counters. Meanwhile, the Atraxa player focused on +1/+1 counters, playing creatures like Grateful Apparition, Winding Constrictor, and Primal Vigor, aiming to grow their board and gain incremental advantages with counters. A key turning point occurred when Narset's player used their commander ability to cast multiple spells for free, including destroying the opponent's Doubling Season with Generous Gift, significantly hindering Atraxa's counter synergy. Later, Narset's player cast Elspeth, Sun's Champion, generating soldiers and further board presence. The game-ending sequence involved transforming planeswalkers into 4/4 dragons and attacking for 45 damage in one decisive swing, demonstrating the power of token generation and planeswalker synergy in Narset's deck. The Atraxa deck struggled to maintain board presence after losing key counters and creatures to board wipes and efficient removal.
