Summary

The match kicked off with the players introducing their Commanders and their strategies. Early on, players started building their board states with creatures and ramping up their mana with lands. The game saw some intense interactions, with players utilizing their Commanders' abilities to gain advantage. Spark Double was used on Obeka, Splitter of Seconds, creating a non-legendary copy with an additional +1/+1 counter.
