Summary
The game kicked off with each player building up their board and casting their respective commanders. Kinnan and Sisay were among the early threats, with Kinnan generating substantial mana and Sisay's tutoring ability posing a constant threat. Kinnan's player, Matt, had to mulligan to four but still managed to make an impact with his plays. However, the game took a significant turn when Matt cast Cyclonic Rift, resetting the board and providing a clear advantage. Anthony then managed to rebuild his board quickly and cast Derevi, creating a strong offensive front. Dylan attempted to stabilize with a Relic of Legends and a Ranger Captain, while Hidden decided to hold up his mana for potential responses. Despite Matt's unsuccessful Kinnan activations, he was undeterred and presented a considerable threat with Void Winnower and Nezahal. The game ended abruptly due to transcript truncation.
