Gameplay Summary

The game began with each player introducing their chosen decks and commanders.

Early gameplay was marked by the casting of artifact-based cards, with multiple players casting Sensei's Divining Top and Mystic Forge.

A notable turn of events occurred when one player, who had chosen an Ovika, Enigma Goliath deck, cast Kindred Discovery and selected Goblins as the creature type.

This allowed them to draw a card every time a Goblin entered the battlefield or attacked.

The game escalated quickly with the casting of powerful cards like Mana Echoes and the board flooded with creatures, leading to high tension and aggressive plays.
