Summary

The game kicked off with players establishing their boards, with Nate on Magda and Kurohitsuki on Stella Lee making notable early moves. However, the game's momentum shifted when Cameron with Varolz cast Diabolic Intent, setting up a Chain of Smog combo. This combo play allowed Cameron to amass an army of Pest tokens, putting the other players in a precarious position. In response, Dylan with Tymna and Tana played Don and Linvala to shut down the activated abilities of the opponent's commanders, and further fortified their position with Eternal Witness and Haywire Might. Towards the end of the transcript, Nate had built up quite a few treasures with Magda and Zorn, but the game conclusion is not captured in the provided transcript.
