Summary

The game started with players setting up their mana bases and casting their commanders. Alrund's player focused on card draw, Kathril's player filled the graveyard to buff their commander with various keywords, Swarmlord's player built an impressive board presence, and Be'lakor's player used artifacts for mana acceleration. Kathril became a major threat with flying, double strike, vigilance, trample, indestructible, and a lot of +1/+1 counters. Later, Kathril's player sacrificed their commander to Life's Legacy, drawing a significant number of cards, and recast Kathril with even more counters.
