Summary

The game kicked off with all players efficiently deploying their commanders and setting up their game plans. Jason's Kumena deck started to accumulate value through tapping and untapping synergies, creating a horde of merfolk. Ryan's Purphoros deck got the God on the battlefield early and started chipping away at life totals with creature ETB triggers. Ethan's Ghyrson Starn deck was able to control the board and burn his opponents out with pinging engines. Alex's Morska deck attempted to drown their opponents in card advantage. The game had a significant turning point when Ethan's Ghyrson Starn equipped with Basilisk Collar and Curiosity wiped out everyone's creatures, gained a significant amount of life, and drew a hefty number of cards. The game ended shortly after, with Ethan's life total and card advantage too overwhelming for the other players to overcome.
