Summary

The game kicked off with all players setting up their boards with mana ramp and utility creatures. Chandler, piloting Adeline, focused on flooding the board with creature tokens and enhancing them with Felidar Retreat and Sword of the Animist. Matt, with Adrix and Nev, also set up a token strategy, building up his board state with Tireless Tracker and Rampaging Baloths. Jason’s Breena deck played a political game, incentivizing opponents to attack each other while he built up his creatures with +1/+1 counters. Cameron, with Tanazir Quandrix, played evasive creatures and used his commander's ability to create large creatures. The game saw a lot of back and forth between players, with many swings of momentum. Chandler's Adeline deck managed to deal a substantial amount of damage, especially after casting Eldrazi Monument, but the game ultimately ended when Jason used Rogue's Passage to make his pumped-up Ornithopter unblockable, delivering lethal damage to Chandler.
