Gameplay Summary

The game started with all players setting up their boards.

However, Logan (Lagrella) used Reflector Mage to bounce Kaalia back to Jason's hand, disrupting his plan.

Matt (Korvold) then cast a Toxic Deluge, resetting the board state.

Jason was able to recast Kaalia and drop Avacyn, dealing significant damage to Logan.

A Wheel of Fortune from Jason reshuffled everyone's hands.
