Gameplay Summary
In this exciting match, the commanders from the Doctor Who Universe Beyond set battled it out in a unique game of Commander with a Planechase twist.
The game started off with a rapid acceleration of mana and card draw from Josh, who was able to take full advantage of the first plane, Cole Hill School, with his Masters of Evil deck.
Craig, with his Blast from the Past deck, was able to create a constant supply of tokens to build up his board, while Rachel, with her Paradox Power deck, made the most of casting spells from zones other than her hand.
Jimmy, with his Timey-Wimey deck, manipulated time counters to ramp up mana and grow Rose Tyler into a significant threat.
However, the shifting nature of the Planechase format kept the game unpredictable and tense, with the final victor emerging from an intricate web of strategic plays, calculated risks, and a little bit of luck.
