Summary

The game started with each player introducing their commander and laying out their initial strategies. Nicol Bolas, the Ravager was the first to make a significant move, forcing each opponent to discard a card upon its entrance to the battlefield. This was followed by a series of ramp plays and setup for the ensuing turns. However, the game began to rapidly evolve when Henzie played a powerful Dragon, Drakuseth, Maw of Flames, which caused significant damage to Nicol Bolas and other creatures on the board, while gaining the Monarchy. The game ended with the players scrambling to regain control of the board, with the Monarchy changing hands multiple times due to aggressive plays and strategic maneuvers.
