Gameplay Summary

The game kicked off with a powerful start as Jason, piloting Breya, managed to bring out a Bolas's Citadel early in the game, leveraging artifact tokens for value and setting up for a potential combo finish.

However, Shelby, commanding Ivy, put a stop to this by bouncing the Citadel back to Jason's hand.

Throughout the game, the players engaged in a series of tactical trades and strategic plays.

Cameron, controlling Jaxis, capitalized on his commander's discard ability, generating a series of Iron Myr tokens and using Goblin Bombardment for direct damage.

Matt, helming Korvold, utilized his commander's sacrifice ability to draw cards and grow his dragon.

Shelby, on the other hand, managed to turn Ivy into a formidable threat, resulting in a massive swing of 15 commander damage at Jason.

The game ended inconclusively based on the transcript.
