Summary

The game starts off with each player unveiling their commanders and discussing their respective strategies. The game progresses with an interesting dynamic created by the interplay of each commander's unique abilities. An early play of Sensei's Divining Top and the presence of a Necro Skitterer causes some concern amongst the players. However, a key turn occurs when foreboding runes allow for the casting of the Star Robot card, leading to the introduction of the monarch mechanic to the match. The players then vie for control of the monarchy, which adds an additional layer of complexity and tension to the game.
