Summary

The game started off with each player setting up their respective board states and playing out their commanders. A turning point came when Matt, piloting Will, Scion of Peace, wiped most of the board with Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite. However, ARA, playing Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim, managed to steal the Elesh Norn with Blatant Thievery. ARA then set up an infinite life combo with Daru Spiritualist, Outrider En-Kor, and Ayli. Despite Jon's (Lathril, Blade of the Elves) attempt to claw back with a Desperate Green Sun Zenith, ARA's infinite life combo proved to be insurmountable.
