Summary

This was a lively game of Commander that began with each player setting up their board states. Max, piloting Gavi, Nest Warden, was quick to generate a formidable army of cat tokens by cycling a multitude of cards. Meanwhile, the Indominus Rex deck, led by an anonymous player, made a risky keep but managed to stabilize with mana fixing and ramp spells. Thalia and The Gitrog Monster played by Seb, and Éowyn, Shieldmaiden commanded by Felix, also made their presence known. The turning point of the game was when Max decided to overload a Cyclonic Rift, resetting everyone's board state, and then started to rebuild his army of cats. The game concluded with a final, large attack from Max's cat army, thanks to Shared Animosity, leading to his victory.
