Gameplay Summary

In a high-stakes match, the game unfolded with players building up their boards and casting their respective commanders.

The game saw a lot of interaction with several board wipes, and key creatures being targeted.

However, the Hama Pashar deck managed to gain significant advantage by using a clever impersonator to copy Dockside Extortionist, generating a massive amount of treasure tokens.

This allowed the player to then proceed and cast multiple spells and gain even more advantage, eventually leading to their victory.
