Gameplay Summary

The game starts with each player introducing their commanders and strategic approach.

Bill, playing Arabella, Abandoned Doll, aims to utilize her ability to deal damage and gain life based on the number of creatures he controls with power two or less.

Phil, with Marina Vendrell, focuses on card advantage and decision-making.

Jan, playing The Mindskinner, intends to inflict direct damage and mill opponents' libraries.

Alex, piloting The Jolly Balloon Man, plans to maximize the use of +1/+1 counters and copy large creatures.

The game experiences a significant shift when Jan's Mindskinner enters the battlefield, milled ten cards from each player's library.

This event disrupts the other players' strategies, particularly Alex, who loses key cards.
