Find the Baum | Commander VS | Magic: the Gathering Gameplay

Summary

The game started off with each player getting their respective commanders on the board and setting up their board states. Early in the game, a Mystic Remora was dropped, causing the players to mostly cast creature spells to avoid feeding cards to the Remora holder. A notable event was the casting of Vial Smasher the Fierce, which has the potential to cause a significant amount of damage. The game was characterized by players carefully navigating around the Mystic Remora, limiting their spell casting to creature spells. This led to a slower pace of gameplay with players building up their board states and setting up for future turns.
