Summary

The game started with each player ramping up and setting their respective commanders on the battlefield, with Katilda, Dawnhart Prime being the first one to be played. This was followed by Queza, Augur of Agonies, Meria, Scholar of Antiquities, and Jared Carthalion. The game continued with each player developing their strategies. Katilda's player was focused on playing big human creatures and putting counters on them, while Jared's player was planning to create a bunch of random, lesser-used tokens. Meria's player, on the other hand, was aiming to clutter the board with artifacts while also pinging opponents for damage. Lastly, Queza's player was focused on drawing cards and draining life from opponents. The game took an interesting turn when the Katilda player played Branching Evolution, which doubled the number of +1/+1 counters placed on their creatures, and Michaelis the Lunarch, which entered with eight +1/+1 counters. Later, the Jared player played Predatory Advantage, which generated 2/2 green lizard creature tokens whenever an opponent didn't play a creature in a turn.
