Gameplay Summary

The game starts with an explosive first turn by Caden playing Old Gnawbone, ramping up his mana fast with his commander's ability.

Ethan playing Toggo/Sakashima starts slowly by building up lands and artifacts.

Logan playing Torbran starts applying pressure with damage boosts from his commander.

Cameron on Karazikar uses his commander's ability to force opponents to attack each other, then tries to swoop in for a final blow.

However, Cameron's plan backfires when Caden's captive audience gives all players 5 zombies.

Caden then uses Reclamation Sage to destroy the captive audience, freeing himself from the enchantment.

Towards the end, Logan wipes the board with a Blasphemous Act, then casts Torbran into an empty board.

The game ends with Ethan casting a massive Indomitable Creativity, flipping 7 cards into play.
