Summary

The game started off with players trying to establish their board presence. The Azor, the Lawbringer player had an explosive start, ramping up quickly and casting Azor, the Lawbringer with the help of mana rocks. This gave them a strong early game advantage. The Maelstrom Wanderer player, however, managed to stabilize by ramping and getting their commander on the board. This resulted in a cascade of value, particularly with the casting of Nyxbloom Ancient and Elysian Caryatid, creating a huge mana advantage. The Delina, Wild Mage player had an impressive turn, creating a large number of copies of Delina, but unfortunately didn't have other notable creatures on board to take full advantage of it. The game continued with players trying to out-value each other, with the Maelstrom Wanderer player being in a strong position due to their mana advantage.
