Summary

The game kicked off with each player revealing their commanders and discussing their strategies. Jim, commanding Arabella, Abandoned Doll, started gaining life early thanks to Arabella's attack trigger. Meanwhile, Kat's Kykar, Wind's Fury deck began to generate spirit tokens whenever a non-creature spell was cast, contributing to a potentially overwhelming board presence. Alex, running Zimone and Dina, had a strategy revolving around card draw and life manipulation. Jan, playing Edward Kenway, focused on a piracy-themed strategy, generating treasures and taking advantage of their flexibility. A pivotal moment came when Kat cast Impact Tremors, dealing damage to each opponent whenever a creature enters the battlefield under her control. This, combined with Kykar's spirit token generation, had the potential to whittle down opponents' life totals over time.
