Summary

The game started with all players setting up their boards and casting their commanders. Early on, McKenzie's Alela deck started dishing out damage and creating goated pirate tokens for all players, speeding up the game's pace. Max's Rainbow Dash deck and the Korvold deck piloted by the narrator also had their moments, but it was Ma's King of the Oathbreakers deck that surged ahead. Ma managed to phase out his entire board in response to a board wipe, which allowed him to maintain his board state. This strategic move set the stage for a decisive victory. Ma's use of Mirror Entity to buff his spirit tokens, combined with the King of the Oathbreakers, enabled him to eliminate both Max and the narrator in a single combat phase. In the final showdown, Ma's overwhelming army of spirits was too much for McKenzie's Alela deck, securing Ma the win.
