Gameplay Summary
The game was a mono-colored brawl featuring commanders Esika, Azami, Toshiro, and Daretti.
It opened with an extremely strong start from Daretti, who managed to establish a significant board presence in the first few turns, including key artifacts like Manifold Key, Liquimetal Torque, and Mycosynth Wellspring, and even getting his commander on the board.
Azami, on the other hand, started to build her wizard army with Tribute Mage, and she was also able to get some card advantage through Thought Vessel and Overwhelmed Apprentice.
Toshiro was playing a slower game, setting up future plays with cards like Expedition Map and Cabal Coffers.
Esika, however, was struggling a bit in the early game, but managed to play Sylvan Library to help with card draw.
