Summary

The game kicked off with a Planechase variant of Commander, which added a unique twist to the match. The plane of choice was Is It Steam Maze, causing all players' instants and sorceries to be copied. This led to a high-stakes game where every spell cast could potentially impact all players. So Cal Acura, playing K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth, used the plane's ability to his advantage by casting multiple tutors, which were copied, allowing him to fetch multiple cards from his deck at once. However, the other players were quick to respond with counter spells. Despite So Cal Acura's aggressive strategy, the game was still very much in the balance, with no clear winner in sight.
