Summary

This game started with a bang with Baal running a fast mana acceleration with cards such as Sol Ring, Mana Vault, and Lotus Petal, allowing him to cast his commander, Heliod, as early as turn 2. However, Baal's momentum was slowed down as Hélder, playing Atraxa, managed to get his Rhystic Study out on the board, providing valuable card advantage. The game took a twist when Josh, playing Kroxa, forced everyone to discard a card. Filippos, playing Tivit, also managed to play an Opposition Agent, disrupting the plans of other players. Baal managed to play multiple wheels, reshuffling everyone's hands into their library. Despite the other players' efforts, Baal was able to cast Even the Score drawing 25 cards for 0 mana, then Hullbreaker Horror, causing a massive shift in the game state.
