Summary

The game saw a fierce battle between the decks commanded by Flamewar, Cyclonus, Soundwave, and Ultra Magnus. Early on, Flamewar seemed to be in a tight spot with a clogged hand but managed to turn the tide by rapidly emptying and refilling their hand with the help of cards like Flamewar and Jessica's Will. Ultra Magnus, on the other hand, managed to get out their commander early and started applying pressure. The game saw several high-stakes interactions, notably the use of Jessica's Will multiple times by Flamewar to refill their hand and generate mana. Despite Cyclonus and Soundwave's best efforts, Flamewar's consistent card advantage and resource manipulation proved to be pivotal.
