Summary
The game begins with a thematic clash between four preconstructed decks inspired by Warhammer 40K and Doctor Who, each led by their unique commanders. Magus Lucea Kane starts off by establishing a solid mana base and setting up counters on her creatures, while The Tenth Doctor and Rose Tyler work together to leverage suspend mechanics and time counters, steadily growing Rose Tyler's power. Inquisitor Greyfax focuses on controlling the board with vigilance and tapping opponent creatures, generating clues to gain card advantage. Davros, Dalek Creator, emphasizes creating menacing artifact creature tokens and forcing opponents into difficult choices to disrupt their hands. As the game progresses, Rose Tyler becomes a significant threat with multiple time counters, boosted further by the suspended cards in play, making her a formidable attacker. Davros keeps applying pressure with menace tokens and card advantage through villainous choices. Inquisitor Greyfax shores up defenses with Bastion Protector, granting indestructibility to commanders, deterring attacks. Magus Lucea Kane plays strategically, copying spells and abilities to maintain board presence. The game features tense interactions around artifact destruction, combat damage, and resource management, with players carefully deciding when to attack or hold back. The interplay of suspend and time counters with artifact tokens and vigilant creatures shapes the flowing momentum and tactical decisions.
