Summary

The game started off with each player casting their commanders and setting up their board states. Grenzo, Dungeon Warden was able to come out as a 4/4 early in the game while Vren, the Relentless was able to get out on the battlefield as well. The player controlling Tymna the Weaver and Thrasios, Triton Hero managed to get a mana crypt and a Noble Hierarch, enabling early game advantage. The player controlling Rakdos, the Muscle faced some mana difficulties and had to mulligan down to four cards. However, they were able to get their commander out by turn three. A key moment in the game occurred when a Graftdigger's Cage was cast, restricting the players' ability to interact with their graveyards. This was particularly impactful for Grenzo, Dungeon Warden, whose strategy revolves around manipulating the bottom of their library. The game concluded with the players still maneuvering for optimal board state, launching attacks, and deploying their strategies.
