Summary

This EDH gameplay saw four players piloting decks based on Betor, Kin to All, Eshki Dragonclaw, Zurgo Stormrender, and Eshki, Temur's Roar. The game started off fairly evenly, with players setting up their boards and casting their commanders. The first big play of the game came when Sam cast Dragon Back Assault, wiping out the majority of the board and putting him at an advantage. However, Chandler was able to remove Dragon Back Assault with a Terastodon. Sam then cast Amanatu's Augury, gaining significant card advantage and putting him in a strong position to take the game.
