Summary
The match kicked off with players establishing their boards, with Kathril focusing on filling the graveyard with keywords, Myrel playing a soldier-themed deck, Safana delving into dungeons, and Moira playing a monoblack deck. A key turning point occurred when a Divine Reckoning was played, causing a massive creature wipe which greatly impacted the board state. This was followed by another Divine Reckoning, causing further creature loss and a shift in tempo. In the end, a Farewell cast by Dom exiled everything except for enchantments, clearing the board completely. Despite these setbacks, players continued to rebuild their boards, with Matt playing an Archon of Cruelty and Dom casting his commander for the first time.
