Gameplay Summary

The game kicked off with each player ramping up their mana resources quickly, with three Sol Rings hitting the table.

John, piloting Valgavoth, Harrower of Souls, took an early lead by becoming the archenemy, dealing significant damage and drawing cards with his commander's effect.

However, Tom's Shroofus Sproutsire proved to be a formidable force, generating a massive army of Saprolings.

Extra's Aphelia, Viper Whisperer, and Sam's Niv-Mizzet, Visionary also made significant impacts with their respective strategies, but ultimately fell to the onslaught of Valgavoth.

Despite the intense back-and-forth, John managed to secure victory through efficient removal and continuous pressure.
