Fandamonium Commander VS | Thrasios & Vial Smasher vs Blanka vs Gonti vs The 10th Doc & Clara Oswald

Summary

The game starts off with players setting up their board states and ramping up their mana. Jeremy, playing a Rampant Growth, is the first to start ramping his mana. Some early plays include an Isocron Scepter from John, which adds tension to the game due to its ability to copy instants every turn. Steven, on the other hand, plays Military Intelligence, an enchantment that allows him to draw cards whenever he attacks with two or more creatures. As tensions rise, players continue to develop their boards and prepare for the mid-game. The game continues with a lot of back-and-forths, and the board state keeps shifting as players try to gain the upper hand.
