Gameplay Summary
The game started off with usual ramping and setting up of board states, as players cast their commanders and essential pieces.
Tom got an early lead with his Etali, Primal Conqueror, generating card advantage with Beast Whisperer and causing life loss with Sir Conrad.
Extra, playing Sidar Jabari, managed to set up a strong board state with Adeline and his commander, attacking Tom frequently.
Sam, playing Brimaz, struggled to establish a lasting board presence, and was eventually eliminated by John's massive hydra attacks.
John, piloting Polukranos, assembled a formidable board of Hydras, maintaining a strong defense while dealing significant damage.
However, Extra's aggressive strategy, coupled with his Knight's Charge, proved too much to handle, and John was left at a low life total.
Unable to recover, John conceded, marking a victory for Extra's Sidar Jabari deck.
