Summary

The game started off with each player setting up their board states with their respective commanders: Logan with Tatsunari, Toad Rider, Ethan with Hinata, Dawn-Crowned, Sam with Go-Shintai of Life's Origin, and Chandler with Satoru Umezawa. A crucial turning point in the game was when Chandler cast a cyclonic rift to clear the board, which was met with Ethan's clever response of casting repeal on a treasure token to draw a card. Chandler then recast his commander and passed the turn. Despite the board wipe, Logan was able to quickly reestablish his presence on the board by recasting his commander. The game appeared to be in full swing, with players strategically maneuvering their resources to gain the upper hand.
