Summary

The game started with each player focusing on ramping up their mana base and setting up their board. The first major turning point came when ARA cast Supreme Verdict, wiping the board and buying some time. However, Matt managed to rebuild quickly, casting his commander, Ulalek, and ramping up with an Exotic Orchard. A key interaction occurred when Jon cast Temur Battle Rage on Corum, which resulted in a massive 28 points of damage getting through and eliminating the first player. Despite the board wipe earlier, players quickly refilled their boards, with ARA casting War Leader's Helix and Matt casting Hideous Taskmaster. The game ended with Matt using Ulalek's ability to copy the triggered ability of Upp the Beanstalk and targeting key creatures on the board.
