Summary

This was an intense and dynamic game with all players showcasing their strategies through their commanders and deck builds. The game began with each player setting up their mana base and casting their commanders. The board state kept shifting as each player cast a variety of spells and creatures to gain advantage. The game's turning point was when Dom, playing Maelstrom Wanderer, cast a Genesis Ultimatum to put multiple high-value cards into play. However, Matt's Council of Four deck played a pivotal role in controlling the game with strategic bounces and taps, eventually taking out a player. Despite this, the game ended in an explosive finish with Dom casting Maelstrom Wanderer, leading to a cascade of spells that caused a major shift in board state.
