Summary

The game kick-started with all players setting up their board states and gradually building their strategies. Jerry's Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer was an early game threat, generating treasures and exiling cards from the top of other players' libraries. Arctic's Atla Palani deck aimed to use its commander's abilities to cycle through creatures in the deck and finish the game with a Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker combo. Aaron's Jeska/Ishai deck focused on dealing massive damage with the help of Ishai, while Elliot's Thrasios/Tymna deck aimed to control the game and win with Thassa's Oracle. A key turning point was when Jerry's Court of Ire got countered by Elliot's Mana Drain, slowing down his momentum. Another pivotal moment was when Arctic attempted to cast Atla Palani, but was thwarted by Aaron's Force of Will. The game continued with players adapting to the evolving board state, highlighting the strategic depth of Commander gameplay.
