Summary

The game kicked off with a high-powered Commander gameplay featuring the decks Ayara, Isshin, Jodah, Reyhan & Tymna. The players focused on building their mana bases and ramping up their strategies. The Mana Gorger Hydra card was a key player early in the game, gaining counters every time a spell was played. Gabriel's deck threw a wrench in the gameplay when he played the Drannith Magistrate card, effectively slowing down the game by preventing commanders from being cast from the command zone. However, Gabriel's strategy backfired as the other players decided to team up against him. The game quickly shifted when Kogla, the Titan Ape was played, leading to the removal of Drannith Magistrate from the game and allowing other commanders to come into play.
