Summary

The game started off with each player setting up their mana base and getting their commanders on the field. Zedruu was the first to stir the pot, casting Arcane Laboratory, which restricted players to casting only one spell per turn. However, this was short-lived as Max, playing Jinnie Fay, destroyed the Laboratory. The game then shifted into a more aggressive phase, with players launching attacks and casting powerful creature spells. In a pivotal turn, Zedruu's player cast Day of Judgement, wiping the board clear of creatures. However, this was not enough to secure control of the game. The game ended with a series of powerful spells and interactions, including the casting of Form of the Dragon and Omniscience.
