Summary

The game started with Joe taking the lead by casting his Commander Thrasios, Triton Hero early. Bailey managed to keep up the pace by playing a copy of Talion, which enabled him to cast a Windfall, forcing each player to discard their hand and draw new cards. Ryan then took a commanding lead using his powerful artifact, 'The One Ring', to draw multiple cards every turn. Despite several attempts to interrupt his strategy, Ryan succeeded in equipping his commander, Godo, Bandit Warlord, with Helm of the Host to generate infinite combat steps and win the game.
