Summary

The game started with each player laying out their strategies and building their boards. Chandler's Sorin deck focused on life gain and board control, starting off strong with Sarah Ascendant and Sorin of House Markov. Matt's Wolverine deck aimed to take down opponents quickly, equipping Wolverine with a chain chainsaw and silver shroud costume. Sam's Xavier Sal deck used populate and proliferate mechanics, while Shelby's Bilbo deck had a life gain strategy. A turning point in the game came when Chandler cast a toxic deluge, wiping the board and setting back other players significantly. Despite the setback, Matt managed to build a formidable defense with a buffed temperamental oo swag. In a surprising turn, Shelby cast a Sorin of House Markov, adding a second one to the game.
