Summary

The game kicked off with each player deploying their commanders: Kaalia of the Vast, Queen Marchesa, The Ur-Dragon, and Rakdos, Lord of Riots. Early game saw players developing their manabases, drawing cards, and setting up their engines. Ken, piloting Queen Marchesa, made the first major move of the game by equipping Marchesa with a Sword of Feast and Famine. This allowed him to untap his lands and pressure his opponents with discard. Tomer, commanding The Ur-Dragon, countered by deploying Eureka, the Tiger's Shadow, which he used to deal damage and draw cards. Carlos, wielding Rakdos, Lord of Riots, managed to cast his commander and apply pressure. Meanwhile, Tori's Kaalia of the Vast was bringing in some heavy hitters from her hand. The game was in full swing with each player jockeying for the position of the Monarch, a special status that allowed them to draw an additional card each turn.
