Summary

In this gameplay episode, four players each selected what they believed to be the most powerful pre-constructed (Precon) deck and battled it out. The commanders chosen were Kaalia of the Vast, Osgir, the Reconstructor, Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait, and Atraxa, Praetors' Voice. The game saw a variety of strategies, from proliferating plus one plus one counters, reanimating creatures from opponent's graveyards, graveyard recursion for artifacts, to ramping and drawing cards. The game was intense with each player carefully strategizing their moves and counter moves. However, the transcript ends before the game's conclusion, leaving the winner a mystery.
