Summary

The game kicked off with each player announcing their commanders and strategies. The Skithiryx player aimed to poison everyone, while the Sliver Overlord player sought to assert dominance. The Atraxa player planned to swarm the board with planeswalkers, and The Gitrog Monster player intended to exploit their lands for value. Notable plays included the Gitrog player's skillful manipulation of their graveyard, repeatedly sacking and regaining their lands for value. One crucial turning point was when the Atraxa player used Assassin's Trophy to remove a key sliver, disrupting the Sliver Overlord player's strategy. However, the game took a dramatic turn when the Gitrog player brought out an Opposition Agent, preventing other players from searching their libraries. This move significantly hindered the Sliver Overlord player's strategy, as they were heavily dependent on searching their library for slivers.
