Summary

The game kicked off with the players introducing their respective commanders and strategies. Brendan was playing Ken, the Burning Brawler, aiming to equip as many artifacts as possible to deal massive damage. Mike chose Chun-Li, Countless Kicks, intending to continuously kick with instants. Nathaniel played Zangief, the Red Cyclone, planning to trample over his opponents with sheer strength. The final player ran Blanka, Ferocious Friend, with the goal of pinging the table with cantrips and dealing a lethal blow. The game saw several significant plays; Zangief was the first commander to enter the battlefield, but was soon wiped out by a Blasphemous Act, along with the other Commanders. The tide of the game turned drastically when Ken's player unleashed a potent combo, wiping out Blanca and dealing significant damage to the opponents. Despite a valiant fight, Ken's relentless assault proved too much for the other players to handle, leading to a victory for Ken, the Burning Brawler.
