Summary

The game was a high-stakes battle between four decks, each with their own unique strategies and explosive potential. The Wise Mothman proved to be a formidable force on the battlefield, growing stronger with each player's turn due to the rad counters it imposed on every commander. Its owner, Hidden, deftly navigated the game, applying pressure and managing threats effectively. The game reached its climax when Hidden used the Mothman to eliminate Derful's Niv-Mizzet and Twiy's Roxanne, leaving only Loots' Jolly Balloon Man on the board. However, Loots was unable to draw an answer and conceded, giving Hidden and the Wise Mothman the victory.
