Summary

The game began with a slow start as players focused on building their mana bases and casting their commanders. Mid-game was dominated by Grape, who equipped his commander, Astor, with powerful artifacts, dealing significant damage and posing a major threat. However, the table was soon turned as Country managed to generate a massive amount of card draw with Curiosity Crafter and a spirit army. The game saw a significant shift when a board wipe from Extra with Gruul Charm cleared the skies. The climax came with an explosive turn from the player controlling Jenson, who cast multiple creatures and utilized Widespread Thieving for massive value. The game ended with a devastating Urza's Ruinous Blast that cleared the table and secured the win for Jenson's controller.
