Summary

The game started off with each player introducing their decks, with an emphasis on their respective commanders. Early turns were focused on establishing mana bases and ramping up, with players casting spells such as Nature's Lore, Lotus Petal, and Arcane Signet. Tension picked up when a Feline Sovereign was cast, increasing the power of one player's cat tokens and threatening the board with its ability to destroy artifacts and enchantments. However, the Feline Sovereign was soon removed from the game with a Path to Exile spell, causing a shift in board presence. The game continued with players deploying their commanders and setting up their strategies, utilizing their commanders' synergy with cats and dogs.
