Summary

The game saw the four players deploying their commanders early on. Carlos, playing Neheb, the Eternal, started off with a high tempo play, using Urza's Saga to get a Sol Ring into play. Oblivion, piloting Ayara, First of Locthwain, managed to get his commander out and started to drain life from his opponents. Pez, commanding Lord Windgrace, ramped up their mana production with a Crucible of Worlds and Manacrypt. Jeff, using Yusri, Fortune's Flame, tried to gain an advantage by flipping coins for extra card draw but was interrupted by an Infernal Grasp from Oblivion. The game continued with high-impact cards like the Hour of Promise from Pez and a Dragon's Approach from Carlos. The match ended with Carlos capitalizing on an Aggravated Assault to take multiple combat steps and secure the victory.
