Summary
The game started off with players establishing their mana bases and setting up early game plays. Key turning points included a series of exchanges between Nahiri and Tyvar. After Nahiri's initial offensive, Tyvar retaliated with a flurry of spells, significantly boosting his board state. Despite Nahiri's continued attacks, Tyvar managed to keep his defenses up and maintain a strong board presence. Meanwhile, Tazri and Kiora were building up their boards but didn't manage to gain significant advantages. The end game saw Nahiri successfully dealing substantial damage to both Tazri and Tyvar, but it was Tyvar who came out victorious after unleashing a final wave of attacks, aided by Wall Breaker, to finish off both Nahiri and Tazri.
