Summary

The game was a high-intensity battle with dramatic swings in power and momentum. It started off with all players building their board state and ramping up their resources. Max took an early lead with his commander, Hurska Sweet-Tooth, bolstered by the supportive abilities of Rosie Cotton and the Gilded Goose. He managed to maintain a strong board presence, even in the face of removal attempts. Jon's Kaalia of the Vast was a constant threat, cheating big creatures onto the battlefield like Aaz C and Giza. However, Max's strategic use of Beast Within and Prepare // Fight kept Jon's threats in check. AR's Breena, the Demagogue, leveraged its ability to draw cards and place counters, creating a sizeable Dust Legion Duelist and a Maranette Master. Eventually, AR's well-timed use of Tragic Arrogance and Shriek led to a massive shift in the board state, with AR keeping Breena, Jon keeping Aaz C, and Max keeping Academy Manufacturer. The game ended abruptly when the transcript was truncated.
