  The repeated use of Trophy Mage due to flicker effects from Sword of Hearth and Home allowed the Yasova deck to gain significant advantage by fetching crucial equipments.

• 2

  The Yasova player was able to effectively attack the Hazoret player thanks to protection from red provided by Sword of Sinew and Steel.

Summary

The game started with Yasova Dragonclaw, piloted by the channel's host, against Atla Palani, Nest Tender, Hazoret the Fervent, and Mavinda, Students' Advocate. Early game was mainly about setting up the board with land drops and ramping up with cards like Sol Ring. The Yasova deck made good use of Trophy Mage to fetch various swords, including Sword of Hearth and Home and Sword of Sinew and Steel, while also flickering the Trophy Mage for added value. The Hazoret the Fervent deck deployed an early Hazoret's Monument, while the Mavinda, Students' Advocate deck managed to get a Gauntlet of Power on the board. However, the Yasova deck's strategy of stealing and leveraging opponent's creatures seemed to be the dominant force in the game. Towards the end of the transcript, the Yasova deck had equipped multiple swords to its commander and swung at the Hazoret player, triggering multiple beneficial effects from the swords.
