Summary

The game started off with each player building their board states and deploying their commanders. Max, who played Braids, took advantage of his commander's ability to pressure the table early, drawing additional cards and causing others to lose life when they couldn't sacrifice. However, the game took a decisive turn when the player with Evereth, Viceroy of Plunder, cast a crime novelist and attempted to set off a massive Chandler Ignition, which was interrupted by a Chaos Warp from Marie. The game ended when The Descent Into Verus dealt lethal damage to both Felix and the Evereth player, leaving Marie and Max to battle it out. Marie won after casting a Boros Charm for direct damage to Max.
