Summary

The game kicked off with each player revealing their commander and deck strategy. Maddy, with her Ragavan deck, planned for a combo token strategy using cards like Fire Emancipation. Colin, playing Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons, focused on a -1/-1 counter strategy. Andrew's Gyruda, Doom of Depths, aimed to disrupt opponents by milling and reanimating creatures. Lucas, piloting Uro, Titan of Nature’s Wrath, built a value engine based on landfall triggers. As the game progressed, each player started to execute their strategies, with Ragavan generating tokens and Uro triggering landfall for value. In a significant turn of events, Lucas was able to get a Scoot Swarm on the board, rapidly generating a substantial token presence. Meanwhile, Hapatra started to spread -1/-1 counters, and Gyruda disrupted opponents by milling their libraries. The game reached a climax when a Teferi's Ageless Insight was cast, doubling card draw and accelerating the game's pace.
