Summary
The game began with each player revealing their ambitious combo plans. Richard aimed to win the game by rolling exactly seven sixes with his bobblehead deck. Toer was determined to pull off some impossible combos with spy kit and exile all creatures from his opponents' decks along the way. Meanwhile, Phil was focused on getting a Michael and flatus on the battlefield with a bludgeon brawl, where all permanents would become artifacts and all artifacts would become equipment. As the game progressed, however, the players were challenged with maintaining a steady supply of land cards. Richard, in particular, was unable to find his third land, and Toer was forced to gamble for his. Despite these setbacks, the players remained focused on their strategies, making for an intensely competitive game.
