Summary

The game started with each player deploying their respective commanders and setting up their board states. Cameron (Jaxis, the Troublemaker) quickly established a strong position, generating substantial value by copying creatures such as Professional Face Breaker and Dockside Extortionist, which allowed him to draw cards and create a large number of Treasure tokens. Meanwhile, Sam (Ognis, the Dragon's Lash) and Chandler (Ziatora, the Incinerator) focused on establishing their own board presence, with Sam utilizing his commander's ability to create treasures and Chandler ramping up his mana with spells like Rampant Growth and Nature's Lore. Shelby (Mari, the Killing Quill) aimed to control the board by killing opponent's creatures and utilizing Mari's ability to draw cards and generate treasures. However, the game saw a turning point when Chandler destroyed Cameron's Illusionist's Bracers, disrupting his strategy of copying creatures with Jaxis. The game concluded abruptly due to the transcript being truncated, thus the winner remains unknown.
