Summary

The gameplay started with all players setting up their mana base and playing their commanders, with a notable early play being a copy of Mana Crypt through Phyrexian Metamorph. As the game progressed, a lot of card draw and ramp strategies were employed, particularly through Rhystic Study and Mystic Remora, which resulted in a large number of cards in hand. This led to an explosive turn by Abaddon the Despoiler, who cast an array of spells in one turn due to Cascade, including a Wheel of Fortune which caused all players to discard their hands and draw seven cards each. This was followed by an Underworld Breach, increasing the potential for even more explosive plays. The game ended inconclusively in the transcript provided.
