Summary
The game began with all players establishing their board presence, with each player's commander reflecting their deck theme. Jason, piloting Tariel, set up a strong defense with cards like Orzhov Basilica and Phyrexian Arena, aiming to control the board and draw cards. Meanwhile, Kaden with Gisa and Geralf got his zombie army going, with Diregraf Captain and Diregraf Colossus providing significant threats. Chandler, running Atarka, ramped up his mana with cards like Frontier Siege and Rampant Growth, setting up for bigger plays. Ethan's Breya deck showed its combo potential with cards like Basalt Monolith and Nim Deathmantle, which were eventually removed by Jason's Vindicate and Chandler's Vandalblast. The game continued to be a tug of war with board wipes like Supreme Verdict and big plays like Stitcher Geralf's 11/11 zombie. The game ends without a clear winner due to the truncated transcript.
