Gameplay Summary

The game started off with each player establishing their board state and strategies.

Jake, on Kenessos, formed a solid mana base early on with cards like Three Visits and Kodama's Reach, aiming to bring out his commander and sea monsters.

Chandler, on Adeline, sought to flood the board with creatures and employ a voltron strategy, arming his Esper Sentinel with Sword of the Animist.

Jason, on Kelsien, worked on controlling the board with stack pieces, using his commander's deathtouch ability to accumulate experience counters and turn Kelsien into a formidable threat.

Meanwhile, Matt, on Mishra, focused on exploiting powerful artifact synergies.

Notably, Matt's Machine God's Effigy copied Chandler's Skyclave Apparition, resulting in some back and forth with Jason's removal spells.
