Gameplay Summary

The game started with each player establishing their early board states through ramp and card advantage spells, with Rograkh/Silas aiming for a fast combo finish, Tivit controlling the board while generating mana and cards, Plagon drawing cards through flicker synergy, and Tymna/Thrasios focusing on mid-range value and infinite mana combos.

Early interactions involved multiple tutors, counters, and disruption, as well as Mystic Remora and other taxing enchantments influencing resource generation.

A key turning point occurred when Rograkh/Silas executed a turn-two win with a Demonic Consultation and Thassa's Oracle combo, quickly ending the first game.

In the subsequent game, the board developed more slowly with players using their commanders' abilities and incremental advantage strategies.

Notable was Plagon’s flicker engine drawing several cards while Felia protected it and generated value.

Meanwhile, Tymna/Thrasios set up card draw and mana acceleration, and Tivit sought to control the game and prepare for its infinite turn combo.

The game displayed the tension between fast combo kill attempts and resilient midrange/control strategies aiming for value and infinite mana wins.
