Gameplay Summary
The game was a high-stakes, counter-heavy match with a lot of strategic plays.
Early on, Rielle, the Everwise, and Narset, Enlightened Master, quickly established their board presence with efficient card draw engines and counterspells.
However, they were soon met with resistance from Cormela, Glamour Thief, and the Tymna/Tana pair, who leveraged their creatures and strategic spells to disrupt the game flow.
The game's turning point occurred when Narset attempted to resolve an uncounterable, hasty attack, only to be thwarted by a flurry of counterspells from Rielle.
The game's end was marked by a dramatic battle between Thatcher's Protean Hulk and Hidden's Rielle.
Despite a massive card draw from Rielle in response to Thatcher's actions, Aaron managed to sneak in a deadly rolic, exiling Rielle and effectively ending the game.
