Summary

The game started with each player setting up their mana bases and casting their commanders. Shelby, playing Orvar, focused on controlling the game and creating copies of permanents for value. Matt, with Magus Lucea Kane, aimed to cast big X spells and take over the game. Cameron, piloting Koma, World-Eater, wanted to ramp quickly and protect his commander, while Ethan, with Kroxa and Kunoros, was looking to cheat out big creatures. A turning point occurred when Matt cast Finale of Revelation copied three times, drawing a total of 30 cards, followed by a Hydroid Krasis, drawing six more and gaining six life. Fearing that Matt would win on his next turn, the other players teamed up to eliminate him. Despite the loss of Matt, the game continued with high-intensity plays and strategic shifts.
