Summary

This game was a rollercoaster of strategy and betrayal, with the players making and breaking alliances as their board states developed. Rat (Wulfgar) and John (Delina) struck an early alliance, but John broke it to target Rat when he had no other viable attack options. Meanwhile, Pine (Gnawbone) managed to get his commander out and generate a significant number of treasures, but was unexpectedly taken out by John's clever use of Eldrazi spawn and damage triggers. This left Rat and Hamster (Gretchen) in a tight race to the finish, with Hamster ultimately emerging victorious. He was able to generate a formidable board state, with multiple tokens and card draw engines, and delivered a lethal blow to Rat in the final stages of the game.
