Summary

The game started off with players building their boards and setting up their strategies. Shane cast 'Insurrection' gaining control of all creatures and dealing a high amount of damage, notably causing Eric to take 19 Commander damage in one swing. However, the game took a turn when David, using Araumi's encore ability, brought back 'Gray Merchant of Asphodel'. This threatened to wipe out the players, but Chris timely cast 'Cyclonic Rift' to prevent the massive life loss. Towards the end, Chris found his win condition with 'Kalamax, the Stormsire' and 'Twinning Staff'. He set up an infinite loop with 'Increasing Vengeance' and 'Ral's Storm Conduit', dealing infinite damage to all opponents and securing the victory.
