Summary

The game started off with each player building their board presence and casting their commanders. Max, playing Rainbow Dash, managed to swing at each opponent, gradually increasing his 'coolness' counters on Rainbow Dash. The game took a dramatic turn when Ma, piloting Captain N'ghathrod, played a massive Consuming Aberration and the powerful Shriek to force all players to sacrifice non-token creatures or planeswalkers. This wiped out many key pieces on the board, including Max's Rainbow Dash and the Gitrog Monster from the Korvold deck. Later, Ma unleashed a Rousing Refrain, generating a large amount of red mana and casting a devastating Sir Conrad the Grim. Towards the end of the available transcript, Ma continued his assault, milling opponents with his commander while Max was trying to rebuild his forces. The game's outcome isn't clear from the available information.
