Summary

In this game, we saw a clash between four popular commanders in the cEDH format. The game kicked off with a flurry of ramp spells, with players quickly setting up their mana bases. Both players piloting Thrasios, Triton Hero and Sisay, Weatherlight Captain managed to get Esper Sentinel on board early, gaining card advantage. The player playing Sisay, Weatherlight Captain attempted to cast a game-changing Dockside Extortionist, which could have provided a massive tempo swing, but it was met with a Force of Will from the Omnath, Locus of Creation player, indicating the high-level strategic play involved. The game reached a critical point with a dramatic attempt to resolve a Time Twister, which would have reshuffled everyone's hands and graveyards into their libraries and drawn them a new hand. However, this also got countered, maintaining the status quo.
