Summary

The game kicked off with the players bringing their commanders, Syr Ginger, Tegwyll, Faldorn, and Xanathar. A crucial moment happened when Max, playing Xanathar, started casting McKenzie's cards with a Mystic Reflection, notably targeting the Academy Manufacturer. This led to Max playing more spells from McKenzie's deck than McKenzie himself, which caused McKenzie's game plan to stall. Meanwhile, MAA's Faldorn deck generated multiple wolf tokens, but a risky play of casting Zenos gave Syr Ginger hexproof and trample, turning the tides of the game. The game ended with an unblockable lethal attack from Syr Ginger, leading to a victory.
