Summary
The game started with all players ramping up quickly. Josh played his commander, Svella, early and managed to find Selvala, Heart of the Wilds, planning to use Svella's ability to find big beaters. However, Baal's Collector Ouphe hampered his mana ramping plans. Baal, piloting The Beamtown Bullies, managed to get Dockside Extortionist and The One Ring to draw cards and generate mana. Hรฉlder, playing Rocco, Street Chef, created a large Serra Ascendant with Rocco's ability, but was forced to skip his turns due to Baal's Eater of Days. David, playing Jorn, managed to cast his commander and a Rhystic Study, but was unable to gain much advantage due to Baal's consistent disruption. Baal managed to maintain control of the game, drawing cards and disrupting his opponents' strategies with his commander's ability. Ultimately, David was eliminated due to an empty library, a result of Baal's final Beamtown Bullies activation bringing Leveler into play under David's control.
