Summary

The game saw a robust start with most players deploying their commanders early. Rith, the Awakener, led by Brian Kibler, was the first to establish board presence, with an early Avacyn's Pilgrim providing mana ramp. Kyle Hill's Karn, Legacy Reforged was a consistent threat throughout the match, with its artifact synergy and colorless strategy. However, the game took a surprising turn with Pramikon, Sky Rampart, piloted by Olivia Gobert-Hicks, creating a 'BattleBots Arena' effect, causing interesting shifts in attack directions. Despite the chaotic attacks and defenses prompted by Pramikon's unique ability, the game ended in favor of Falco Spara, Pactweaver, played by Arin Hanson, which utilized a myriad of counter strategies to outmaneuver opponents and secure the victory.
