Summary
The game started with each player setting up their board states, ramping and playing their commanders. Mik, playing Kadena, was able to get good value from his commander's ability to play morph cards for free and draw cards. A key turn came when Mark, playing Narset, managed to cast multiple spells in one turn, triggering prowess multiple times and dealing significant damage, but Max cast Snap to bounce Narset back to Mark's hand. Mik later played Ashiok, Dream Render, milling Mark and exiling all opponents' graveyards. A decisive moment happened when Mark attacked Mik with multiple creatures, but Mik responded by flipping up a Thousand Winds, bouncing all of Mark's creatures back to his hand. The game continued with players trading punches and managing threats on the board.
