Summary
The game started off with each player setting up their boards with their respective commanders. However, the game quickly escalated as Hidden Planet X's Talion deck started to dominate the board, drawing a large number of cards and dealing significant damage. Brennan's Nekusar deck, which aimed to punish opponents for drawing cards, only added fuel to the fire. Despite attempts from other players to disrupt this synergy, Hidden Planet X managed to maintain his advantage and eventually clinched victory with a Monotic Betrayal into a Wheel of Fortune, taking out the remaining opponent with Nekusar's triggers.
