Summary

The game kicked off with all players deploying their lands and establishing their boards. Notably, a player with the Kadena, Slinking Sorcerer deck cast a card with a morph ability, setting a strategic precedent for the rest of the match. Angie Falkenrath's player utilized their commander's ability to discard a card and draw a new one, maximizing their hand advantage. They used this to discard and later cast a Nightshade Assassin via madness, allowing them to remove a creature from the battlefield. The game then saw a significant turn when the player running the Ghired, Conclave Exile deck deployed their commander and started generating tokens. As the game progressed, the power dynamics shifted between the players, with each leveraging their commander's unique abilities to gain an edge.
