Summary

The game kicked off with players smoothly laying out their mana bases and starting to bring their commanders into play. The first significant move was made by Cameron who cast 'Etali, Primal Conqueror' and triggered its ability to exile top cards of each player's library. The next major play came from Seth who cast 'Brudiclad' and started generating 2-1 mirror tokens, turning his treasures into additional mirrors. Kaden, taking advantage of 'Dragon Tempest' and 'Dragon's Horde', repeatedly cast and blinked 'Zurgo and Ojutai' dealing damage and drawing cards. Later, Cody cast a significant 'Toxic Deluge' clearing most of the board, later following up with 'Necrologia' to refill his hand. The game continued with players rebuilding their boards and making strategic moves to gain advantages.
