Summary

The game kicked off with players quickly ramping up and deploying their commanders. Extra, who played Ellivere of the Wild Court, became an early threat, enchanting his commander with Helm of the Gods and Ancestral Mask. However, the game saw a major shift when John, piloting Rowan, Scion of War, played Birexi and Purge, clearing the entire board. Following this, the game became a back-and-forth struggle with players recasting their commanders and building their boards. Tom, playing Imodane, the Pyrohammer, made considerable use of his commander's damage-dealing ability, while Sam, with Hylda of the Icy Crown, tactically untapped and tapped his commander to generate value. Ultimately, the game came to a dramatic close as Tom used Dictate of the Twin Gods and Seismic Strike to trigger Imodane's ability, dealing lethal damage to both Extra and Sam.
