Summary
The game kicked off with a variety of land drops and deck setup moves from all players. Key plays included Maximus' casting of Averna, the Chaos Bloom and initiating a cascade sequence that significantly impacted the game board. The game reached a tipping point when Max cast his commander, Averna, which set off a series of cascades, amplifying his board presence. He then played Jessica's Will, gaining substantial mana and further escalating his position. This led to a massive swing, which took out Ian and significantly reduced the life totals of the other players. The game ended with Max launching a full assault with his wolf army, eliminating both Mika and Omo from the game.
