Summary

The game began with each player developing their boards and setting up strategies according to their respective commanders. Kaden, piloting The Necrobloom, focused on landfall triggers and zombie generation. Cameron, with Imskir Iron-Eater, sought to generate value through artifacts and drain opponents with Aristocrat effects. Shelby, playing Azlask, the Swelling Scourge, aimed to spawn Eldrazi Scions and gain experience counters. Lastly, Sam, playing Arna Kennerüd, Skycaptain, pursued a Voltron strategy with Auras and equipments. The game's turning point arrived when Kaden decided to overload a 'Dam', wiping the board clean. This led to multiple responses and triggers, drastically shifting the game state. Despite the wipe, players rebuilt their boards, but Cameron, with a well-equipped Imskir Iron-Eater, managed to generate a massive amount of Treasures, Foods, and Clues, setting up a strong position.
