Summary

The game started off with a healthy mix of ramp, creature deployment, and setup for each player's respective strategies. Matt on Ruric Thar, the Unbowed was notably aggressive, casting his commander twice in the early turns and making efficient use of his creature-based strategy. As the game progressed, the board state became increasingly volatile, with multiple board wipes from both Caden and Matt, including a massive Cyclonic Rift from Caden. Despite the continual reset of the board, Jason on Goro-Goro and Satoru managed to maintain some momentum, continuously recasting his commanders and generating a dragon army. The game concluded with a flurry of aggressive plays and strategic decisions.
