Summary

The game started off with each player establishing their board presence and laying out their strategies. Jor Kadeen aimed to create an army of small creatures and equip them with weapons, while Slobad planned to use artifacts for mana and counter the 'ban-worthy' Elesh Norn. Elesh Norn focused on controlling the board, with the player intending to 'chastise and write off' their opponents' creatures. Karumonix, the Rat King, played a rat colony deck with the commander enhancing the rat strategy. The game progressed with each player taking strikes at each other and attempting to gain the advantage, while negotiating around a rule of law that restricted them to one spell per turn. There were several key moments such as the activation of Forgemaster, the play of Palace Jailer making a player the Monarch, and the playing of Hammer of Nazahan.
