Summary
An intense game of Commander unfolded with players showcasing their commanders' unique abilities in this match. It began with each player meticulously building their board states. Chris' Aminatou deck was particularly disruptive early on, making use of Skyclave Apparition and Soulherder to control the field. Eric's Tom Bombadil, Reese's Malcolm | Nadier, and the Otrimi deck attempted to apply pressure, but Chris's constant board disruption proved challenging.
