Summary

The game started off with each player setting up their boards and ramping their mana. Jake on Gavi, Nest Warden focused on cycling cards to draw and reduce the cost of abilities, while Jason on Hazezon Tamar built up his lands and created an army of tokens. Logan, playing Mogis, God of Slaughter, aimed to cause mass chaos and pain for all players, with Sam on Chishiro, the Shattered Blade modifying creatures to amass a board of tokens. The momentum shifted when Jason summoned his commander, Hazezon Tamar, and started to generate a massive army of tokens. Logan responded with a board-clearing Damnation, leveling the playing field. Jake managed to recast Gavi and started cycling again, but Jason's Avenger of Zendikar with a Panharmonicon out resulted in a significant board presence. Unfortunately, the game was cut short, leaving the end result unknown.
