Summary

The game started with players setting up their boards and advancing their game plans. Mika (Athreos, Shroud-Veiled) and Mackenzie (Yarok, the Desecrated) were going for value engines with their commanders and other creatures, whereas the player using Mistform Ultimus aimed to make a massive army of elementals with Master of Waves. Max (Zur, Eternal Schemer) focused on developing his board with enchantments and using his commander's abilities to the fullest. Mika managed to wipe the board with Kaya's Wrath, but the player using Mistform Ultimus bounced some of his creatures back to his hand with Mystic Confluence. The game continued with players trying to regain their board states, with Mackenzie generating value with Yarok and his other cards. The Mistform Ultimus player created a large number of tokens with Master of Waves and swung at Mika, knocking him out of the game. The game ended abruptly as the transcript got truncated.
