Summary

In a fright-filled matchup, the commanders took on monstrous forms to battle it out in a game of strategy and skill. Early on in the game, Amy the Amazonian's Xanathar, Guild Kingpin showcased its strategy of stealing cards from opponents' battlefields, graveyards, and decks. Ashlen Rose's Umbris, Fear Manifest implemented an aggressive mill strategy, forcing opponents to exile cards and keeping the table on edge. Rachel Weeks' Lord of Tresserhorn, while a powerful presence, faced challenges in the form of necessary sacrifices to keep its brutal ETB trigger in check. Ladee Danger's Shelob, Child of Ungoliant, with its army of spiders, proved to be a potent force, utilizing death touch to eliminate opponents' creatures and create copies. Despite the strong strategies and unique interactions, the game concluded without a clear winner due to the incomplete transcript.
