Summary

The game started off with a casual pace, with each player playing their land and setting up their board presence. The first major play was a Sol Ring by one player, providing an early advantage in terms of mana acceleration. The game continued with players building their boards and casting their commanders. The player using Heny 'Toolbox' Torre made a significant move by casting Heartless Summoning, making his creatures cheaper to cast. This allowed him to quickly amass a board presence with large creatures, notably Atali, Primal Storm. Mid-game, one player used Abrupt Decay to destroy Heartless Summoning, effectively slowing down Heny's strategy. The game reached a turning point when a player reanimated Atali using Animate Dead, gaining control of a significant threat. Towards the end, a Walking Ballista was cast, signalling a potential win condition.
