Summary

The game started with all players setting up their boards. Jason (Kaalia) managed to land an early Necropotence which allowed him to draw a significant amount of cards, putting him in a strong position. 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. Sam (Ghired) generated multiple Warchief Giant tokens, dealing a substantial amount of damage to Jason and Logan. The game was left at a critical juncture with all players setting up for their next big plays.
