Summary

The game started with an impressive fast-paced round, with all players casting their commanders early due to the utilization of powerful mana acceleration cards like Jeweled Lotus and Mana Crypt. An early game Toxic Deluge from K'rrik's player, Jan, reset the board, leaving the players to rebuild their strategies. Braids, Cabal Minion, was later played by Jim (Najeela's player), further disrupting the board state by forcing sacrifices from all players, or else they would lose life and allow Jim to draw cards. The game continued with each player attempting to rebuild and assert their board presence.
