Summary

The game began with all players ramping and developing their board states. Sliver Gravemother made an early impact, utilizing a Gemhide Sliver and a Felwar Stone for mana ramp and playing a Vanquisher's Banner for card draw. Anikthea, Hand of Erebos, was slow to start while Zhulodok, Void Gorger, quickly built a strong board with Zula Dock and a Metalwork Colossus, using Mystic Forge to play from the top of her library. Commodore Guff's Super Friends deck didn't make a strong start but later swung the game with a well-timed 'Promise of Loyalty', destroying all but one creature each player controlled. The game ended with a massive cascade from Zhulodok, Void Gorger, and ultimately took the victory with a combination of big creatures and extra turns.
