Deck Strategies
Eluge, the Shoreless Sea
The deck utilizes flood counters to increase Eluge's power and to reduce the cost of spells, aiming to control the board by stealing opponents' key permanents.
The Infamous Cruelclaw
This deck aims to cast big spells for free by utilizing Cruelclaw's ability to flip cards from the top of the library until a non-land is revealed, and casting it for free by discarding a card.
Gev, Scaled Scorch
Gev's deck is about dealing damage to opponents to enhance its creatures. The more opponents it hits in a turn, the more +1/+1 counters its creatures get.
Ygra, Eater of All
This deck aims to make all creatures 'food' and feed them to Ygra, making it increasingly larger and more formidable.

Summary
The game started off with each player setting up their board, with Jerry getting a strong start with a Soul Ring and Lightning Greaves, though his momentum was checked by Jan's Moltenclaw, which destroyed the Soul Ring. Alex playing his commander Gev, Scaled Scorch early gave him a significant advantage. However, Jim's play of his commander, Eluge, the Shoreless Sea, and the subsequent casting of Blatant Thievery, shifted the game in his favor. He gained control of key permanents from each player, including Jan's powerful creature, the Herald of Leshrac. Despite Jerry's strong start, he stumbled in the mid-game, missing a turn due to mana issues. The endgame is not clear from the available information.
