Summary
The game started with each player executing their respective strategies, focusing on establishing their mana base and setting up. A key turning point occurred when Brendan activated his Commander, Hashaton, and started discard shenanigans. However, his attempt to establish control over the game was disrupted by a flurry of counter spells and interactions from his opponents. Despite that, he managed to keep up the pressure, forcing his opponents to respond to his threats. A pivotal moment was when Hidden attempted to pull off a finale of Devastation combo with Thrasios Oracle and Demonic Consultation, but was thwarted by an Angel's Grace from Guy. In a twist of luck, Hidden was able to find an Opposition Agent early in his deck and pivoted his strategy. The game ended with a climactic battle of strategies and counters.
