Summary

The game started off with a slow build-up as each player set up their mana base and cast their commanders. Max, playing Magus Lucea Kane, took an early lead by making effective use of his commander's copy abilities and ravenous triggers to get multiple creatures onto the battlefield and draw cards. He also made formidable use of the Bone Sabers and Hardened Scales to boost his creatures. His aggressive strategy put significant pressure on other players, especially the player controlling Bel'Akor, the Dark Master, who was eliminated early on. However, the game took a turn when Mika, playing Marneus Calgar, activated his commander's ability at the end of Max's turn, creating a substantial board presence. Kevin, controlling Anrakyr the Traveller, managed to maintain a strong position throughout the game, making strategic use of his commander's ability to cast spells for free. His key play was a well-timed Out of the Tombs, followed by a Triarch Praetorian and a massively boosted Triarch Stalker, which enabled him to eliminate both remaining players in a single combat phase and secure the win.
