Gameplay Summary

The game kicked off with some rapid setup from all players, with a particularly notable pregame action from one player to pitch a Rest in Peace for a Gem.

Early game was marked by some aggressive plays as the players sought to establish board presence and control.

A key turning point in the game was the play of an Opposition Agent, which allowed its controller to search an opponent's library instead of the opponent doing so themselves.

This was followed by some significant card draw, life gain, and an exchange of commanders via Gilded Drake.

The opposition agent and rest in peace interactions seemed to be critical in controlling the pace of the game.

The game progressed with players seeking to exploit interactions between their cards and disrupt their opponents' strategies.
