Summary

The game starts with all players building up their boards and laying out their strategies. Jason's Teysa Karlov deck focuses on exploiting death triggers, Matt's Disa the Restless deck amasses a huge token creature, Ethan's Melek deck uses spell-slinging and copying effects, and MTGNerdGirl's Magar deck turns instants and sorceries into creatures. The game shifts dramatically when Ethan's Melek hits Matt for hefty commander damage, prompting the table to control Melek's presence. Matt's token creature becomes a significant threat due to its size and trample, leading to a board wipe from Ethan. Jason capitalizes on the board wipe with multiple Blood Artist triggers, dealing damage to his opponents.
