Summary

The game started with each player introducing their commanders. Jason played Ghalta, Stampede Tyrant, Mike played Indominus Rex, Alpha, Matt played Ojer Axonil, Deepest Might, and Huatli, Poet of Unity was piloted by an unnamed player. Early game was a mix of ramp and setting up engines with cards like Sol Ring and Iron Cudgel. A critical moment arose when a player cast Reforge the Soul resulting in a massive hand reset. The player controlling Ojer Axonil ramped significantly and cast a powerful Finale of Devastation, grabbing notable creature cards to dominate the battlefield. The Indominus Rex player responded aggressively, causing significant damage with dinosaur creatures. Despite the high tension, the game ended abruptly due to a sudden onslaught from the Indominus Rex player, taking out multiple opponents in a single turn.
