Summary

The game began with players setting up typical mana rocks and ramp spells, quickly accelerating into casting impactful creatures and spells. Early turns saw mana dorks, artifact ramp, and disruption such as Manglehorn and Solitude being deployed to control the board state. A key moment came when a player cast Wheel of Fortune to refresh hands and keep the pressure on. Combat phases were aggressive, with commanders like Rowan, Scion of War and Yasharn, Implacable Earthman dealing significant damage and triggering beneficial effects. Throughout the mid-game, players exchanged removal and generated card advantage through attacks and enchantments, leading to a board wipe triggered by an Eldrazi effect that wiped out much of the board.
