Summary

The game kicked off in a typical fashion with all players ramping and setting up their board. The board state remained fairly balanced with players casting their commanders and setting up defenses. Everyone was maintaining a healthy life total, and no immediate threats were identified. However, the game quickly took a turn towards mass removal and interaction, with each player's commander being targeted and removed multiple times. This lead to a slower game pace with players constantly rebuilding their board state. The game ended without any player achieving their win condition due to the extensive removal and interaction.
