Summary
The match saw the decks of Ratadrabik of Urborg, Sisay, Weatherlight Captain, Karador, Ghost Chieftain, and Otharri, Suns' Glory face off against each other. The game began with a slow start, with the players setting up their mana bases and casting their commanders. Ratadrabik's strategy of reanimating an army of legendary creature tokens became clear early on. This strategy proved to be a significant threat on the board, with Ratadrabik's controller effectively using Blade of Selves to create a massive army of tokens. Despite the efforts of the other players, Ratadrabik's board state became increasingly difficult to manage. Notably, the Otharri, Suns' Glory deck attempted to control the board with Impact Tremors and their commander's ability to create an army of rebels, but the Ratadrabik deck proved to be resilient.
