Gameplay Summary
The match started with a quick pace, with every player deploying their respective commanders early in the game.
Drana/Linvala's player was the first to get hit with a Swords to Plowshares from the Katilda/Lier player.
The Heliod player then managed to cast their commander, triggering a quick response from the Omnath player who flashed in Teferi.
However, the game took a dramatic turn when the Omnath player cast a board wipe, destroying all artifacts and creatures with power four or greater.
This led to a series of powerful plays and counterplays, with players casting impactful spells such as Smothering Tithe, Idolon of Rhetoric, and Arcane Signet.
The game ended with Omnath's player managing to establish a commanding board presence and achieving victory.
