Summary

The game started off calmly with players developing their boards and setting up their strategies. Karn, Silver Golem, and Alela, Artful Provocateur both played cautiously due to the presence of the Feline Sovereign, a repeatable artifact removal threat on the Ur-Dragon player's side. The Teysa Karlov player, on the other hand, started setting up a strong card draw engine with Dark Prophecy. However, the moment of upheaval came when Karn, Silver Golem used Duplicant to exile the Feline Sovereign, significantly reducing the threat to artifact-based strategies. This allowed Alela to safely cast their commander and start leveraging her ability to buff other flying creatures and generate faeries. The game continued with players building up their forces and strategizing their next moves.
