Summary

The game started off with players ramping up and setting up their board states with a variety of creatures, artifacts, and enchantments. It quickly became a dynamic battlefield with Drizzt Do'Urden taking an early lead, dealing significant commander damage. The turning point was when Jason, piloting Tiamat, managed to use 'Cloth, Unrivaled Ancient' and 'Sarkhan Unbroken' to generate a significant amount of mana, which was then used to cast Tiamat and fetch five different dragons from his library, establishing a formidable board presence.
