The game kicked off with all players setting up their mana bases and casting their commanders. Cameron, playing Grist, was the first to make a significant move, flipping Grist into its Planeswalker side and combining self-mill strategies to generate value.

The game continued with several power swings, but the winner was not clear from the available transcript.
