Gameplay Summary
The game started with everyone getting their commanders and key pieces into play.
Eliot, playing The Master of Keys, set up enchantment-based synergies, while Jim, using Kianne, Corrupted Memory, focused on card draw and flash abilities.
Jerry, with The Lord of Pain, aimed to inflict widespread damage while Bill, commanding Rendmaw, Creaking Nest, looked to create a board full of creatures.
The middle game was a complex interplay as each player tried to push their strategies forward.
Jerry's damage plan caused significant threats, but Bill's army of creatures, supported by Essence Warden, provided a steady source of life gain.
Eventually, the tide turned in favor of Bill as his growing army kept his life total high while applying pressure on his opponents.
