Summary

The game started off with the players setting up their mana bases and getting their respective commanders on the board. Hashaton's player managed to create a strong board presence by discarding large creatures and reanimating them as 4/4 zombies, creating a formidable army. Ms. Bumbleflower's player focused on placing a lot of counters on their creatures to increase their power for heavy swings. Despite these strategies, Felisa's player took a more defensive stance, discouraging attacks by demanding a payment proportional to the attacker's power, effectively slowing the game pace. However, this defensive strategy could not hold up against the overwhelming board presence of the other players. The game ended with a climactic battle, although the winner is unclear from the available transcript.
