Summary

The game started with strong openings from all players, with Cody establishing a quick mana base with Mana Crypt and Mana Vault. Ethan swiftly cast his commander, Krark, the Thumbless. Matt, piloting Winota, Joiner of Forces, established a threatening board presence with Hope of Ghirapur and Phyrexian Revoker. Cameron, with Kalamax, the Stormsire, managed to get his commander on the board, and also kept up a strong card draw engine with Mystic Remora. The game saw multiple turns of strategic combat and spellcasting, with players carefully navigating their strategies around the threats on the board. Cameron made a significant move by drawing 14 cards with Return of the Wildspeaker. However, the game was left in suspense with Ethan dangerously close to losing to commander damage from Kalamax.
