Gameplay Summary

In this thrilling multiverse showdown, the commanders Nicol Bolas, the Ravager // Nicol Bolas, the Arisen, Reaper King, Progenitus, and the Dune Brood Nephilim battled it out.

The game started slowly, with players focusing on land plays and mana fixing.

The first significant play was Riskar, Peema Renegade, setting the stage for potential creature-based strategies.

The ominous passing of the turn by the Nicol Bolas player suggested a cautious approach, possibly due to the fear of turning Nicol Bolas into a removal target.
