Gameplay Summary
The game kicked off with all players setting up their commanders and starting to strategize.
The early game was dominated by ramp and setting up board states, with Jan's Iron Man deck leveraging a Thran Dynamo for significant ramp, and Aaron's Black Panther deck starting to generate +1/+1 counters using his commander's ability.
Eliot, piloting the Wolverine deck, got an early Ctis, Emberclaw Familiar on the board, potentially setting up for a strategy involving commander damage.
However, the game took a significant turn when Jan played a Possessed Portal, disrupting everyone's draw steps and forcing sacrifices or discards at the end of each turn, effectively stalling the game's progression and putting all players on a clock to find solutions or face being locked out of the game.
