Summary
The game started with all players ramping and setting up their board states, with most players being able to cast their commanders by turn four. Maelstrom Wanderer player managed to ramp up quickly and cast their commander on their turn, resulting in two cascade triggers. The cascades fetched Garruk, Primal Hunter and Terror of the Peaks, significantly boosting the board state of the Maelstrom Wanderer player. The Terror of the Peaks triggered damage to the Chulane and Tatyova, hindering the latter's card draw ability. The game is looking to be in favor of the Maelstrom Wanderer player, but with the presence of Sidisi's Altar of Dementia and Bloom Tender, and Raffine's counter magic, the game could still take an interesting turn.
