Summary

The game features an intense battle between four commanders: Atraxa, Liesa, Teysa, and Hansk. The gameplay was marked by powerful plays and strategic decisions, with Teysa Karlov's deck showcasing its aristocrat strategy, utilizing death triggers for value. An early board wipe by Hansk, Slayer Zealot's player using Volcanic Fallout created a shift in the board state, favoring Teysa's aristocratic strategy. This allowed the Teysa player to draw multiple cards and create several treasure tokens due to the death triggers. Despite the board wipe, Liesa, Shroud of Dusk, was recast, continuing the pressure on the battlefield. The game, however, took a surprising turn when the Atraxa player conceded, leaving Teysa, Liesa, and Hansk in the fray.
