Ian piloted a dice roll-centric Mr. House, President and CEO deck, generating artifact tokens and treasure tokens through dice roll triggers, aiming for incremental advantage and board presence.
Early skirmishes involved careful attacks leveraging flying and death touch, with players testing defenses and trading small amounts of damage to set up future turns. Midgame highlights included Mike's frequent dice rolls triggering multiple token creations and incremental damage across the board, while Kara established a formidable fairy board that synergized with her commander’s buffs and protective shroud effects.
