Summary

The game kicked off with Ethan's Rionya, Fire Dancer deck generating significant card advantage and early board presence with his Imperial Recruiter and Solemn Simulacrum. However, Cody's Adeline, Resplendent Cathar deck was able to generate an enormous amount of treasure tokens through Smothering Tithe, using these resources to equip his commander with Cauldron Complete, leading to significant damage dealt to all opponents. Shelby's Grand Warlord Radha deck used Dockside Extortionist to generate a considerable amount of mana, allowing him to rapidly expand his board presence with Scoot Swarm and Druid Class. Meanwhile, Logan's Tivash, Gloom Summoner deck steadily built up his board and life total, eventually casting his commander to begin generating demon tokens.
