Grothama, All-Devouring
Grothama's deck revolves around forcing fights with Grothama to draw cards and establish a substantial board presence, while also utilizing large amounts of mana for high-impact plays.

Summary
The game was a roller-coaster of strategic plays and counter-actions among players. Initially, each player built up their board states and resources with their commanders, Grenzo, Dungeon Warden, Kumena, Tyrant of Orazca, Mistform Ultimus, and Grothama, All-Devouring. A key turning point occurred when Neil, playing Grenzo, unleashed a series of creature-based effects, including Goblin Charbelcher and Big Game Hunter, to control the board and drain life from his opponents. However, Peter, playing Grothama, managed to recast his commander and use its ability to draw cards and establish board presence. Despite Neil's aggressive plays, Peter's overwhelming stampede provided enough force to swing for lethal damage, presumably claiming victory.
