Summary

The game started off with quick land plays and some early creatures from each player. Edgar Markov deck, piloted by Tom, leveraged his commander's ability to churn out vampire tokens, buffing them and applying pressure to his opponents. Extra, piloting Evereth, Viceroy of Plunder, managed to equip her with Blade of the Bloodchief and used her ability to sacrifice creatures, getting counters and creating a formidable threat. However, Extra was eliminated by Jon's Samut, the Driving Force, who had built up a swift army of creatures. Tom was then taken out by Jon, leaving only Jon and Sam (playing Hashaton, Scarab's Fist) in the game. Sam, with Rona, Disciple of Gix's ability, was able to draw and discard multiple times, triggering his commander's ability to create a massive horde of creatures. With an overwhelming number of creatures, Sam unleashed his horde at Jon, effectively claiming the victory.
