Summary

In this intense game of Commander, all participants brought preconstructed decks from the Adventures in the Forgotten Realms set to the table. The early turns were typical for preconstructed decks, with the players ramping up and setting up their board states. Joe Manganiello got off to an aggressive start, playing Dragonmaster Outcast on turn one and consistently attacking his opponents. Jimmy Wong played his commander, Sefris of the Hidden Ways, early to start enabling his deck's main strategy, but the full potential of the deck was yet to be realized. Becca Scott also managed to get her commander, Prosper, Tome-Bound, onto the battlefield, which allowed her to gain extra cards and mana each turn.
