Summary

The game kicked off with all players developing their boards, playing lands and setting up their commanders. The Ratadrabik player had a shaky start with an early mulligan, but managed to stabilize the game with the help of grave pact and LSL core. However, the game took a sharp turn when Jodah hit the field. Jodah's player began a rapid deployment of Planeswalkers, including Liliana Dreadful General and Kaya, causing a significant shift in the game state. The other players struggled to respond to this onslaught, with the Ratadrabik player in particular lacking the necessary draw or a sack outlet to fully utilize their commander's potential. Despite attempts to whittle down the growing Super Friends assembly from Jodah including Kedira's swing at Liliana, the board state continued to escalate in Jodah's favor.
