Summary
The game kicked off with players deploying their lands and setting up their early game plans. Dylan, piloting the 'Noble Heritage' deck, made the first significant play by casting 'White Plume Adventurer' and taking the 'Initiative', allowing him to ramp up. He followed it up with 'Noble Heritage' and 'Gorilla Shaman', establishing a strong board presence. Cameron, wielding 'Aragorn, King of Gondor', cast his commander, becoming the Monarch and drawing a card at his end step. The game then saw a series of plays involving the 'Monarch' and 'Initiative' mechanics, with players jostling for control of these bonuses. Joe, playing 'Henzie Toolbox Torre' with 'Umori, The Collector' as companion, made a sweep with 'Prismari Command' and took the initiative and monarchy in one fell swoop. The game ended in a flurry of powerful spells and creatures as players tried to take control of the board and secure victory.
