Summary

The game started with each player deploying their commanders and establishing their board presence. One of the early game-changers was Ben's activation of Mayael the Anima's ability, bringing out Terror of the Peaks. This provided a significant threat on the board, dealing damage equal to creature powers entering under his control. The mid-game saw a lot of interaction, with Carlos casting Wave of Reckoning to cause each creature to deal damage to itself equal to its power, effectively clearing the board. A late-game Austere Command cast by Ben selectively removed all creatures with mana cost three or less and all artifacts, greatly affecting the board state. Despite some last-ditch efforts, Izlain's life total was reduced significantly, leaving him in a precarious position.
