Summary

In this gameplay, the players each wielded a deck built around one of the double-faced planeswalkers from Magic Origins. Each deck was heavily themed around its commander: Chandra was burn-focused with many different versions of the character, Kytheon (Gideon) fielded a lot of soldiers and aimed to buff them, Jace was packed with card draw and control elements, and Nissa deck was ramp and big green creatures. The game was filled with dynamic interactions as each player sought to leverage their planeswalker's unique abilities and synergies. However, the specifics of the gameplay and the eventual victor could not be determined due to a lack of detailed information.
