Gameplay Summary

The game started with aggressive early plays, notably from the Yoshimaru/Rograkh deck with an early Yoshimaru, Norin the Wary and Ragavan, quickly boosting Yoshimaru's power.

A Darksteel Mutation cast by the Go-Shintai player slowed Yoshimaru down, but the pace picked up again when Jeska, Thrice Reborn was cast, setting up for a lethal commander damage hit on the Go-Shintai player.

The Kotori player tried to keep pace with Skysovereign, Consul Flagship and Katori, Pilot Prodigy, but a well-timed Akroma's Will from the Yoshimaru/Rograkh player turned the tide.

The final turns saw a desperate rally from the Kotori player with Tezzeret the Seeker and an imposter of Audric, but it wasn't enough to stop the Yoshimaru/Rograkh player from claiming victory.
