Summary
The game kicked off with each player showcasing their commanders: Flubs, the Fool; Zinnia, Valley's Voice; Eluge, the Shoreless Sea; and Wildsear, Scouring Maw. Early on, Zinnia's player managed to set up a Power Balance card, causing some interesting dynamics as players had to reveal and potentially cast the top card of their libraries whenever an opponent cast a spell with the same mana value. This disrupted the flow of the game and led to unexpected plays. However, the tide of the battle truly turned when Eluge's player cast Back to Basics, severely limiting the other players' land resources. Despite Zinnia's player managing to take out Back to Basics with a Seal of Primordium, Eluge's player had already gained a significant advantage. The game continued with ups and downs, but Eluge's player maintained control.
