Summary

The game started with all players developing their boards with a mix of creatures and artifacts. Jon played his commander, Colfenor, early and began setting up his creature-based engine with cards like Vizier of the Menagerie. Derek also brought out Geist of Saint Traft and started enhancing its combat prowess with equipment like the Sword of Fire and Ice. Carlos got his commander, Syrix, on the field and mutated Everquill Phoenix onto it, creating a formidable attacker. Meanwhile, Ced was building up his board with creatures like Surrak the Hunt Caller and Murkfiend Liege. After a few rounds of combat, Carlos swung with a beefed-up Syrix at Ced, dealing significant damage and marking a major turning point in the game.
