    Josh's use of Witherbloom Command to deal with Toski was a key interaction, keeping Ashlen's card draw in check.

    The Professor's Sword of Feast and Famine could have provided a significant advantage, but it was promptly destroyed by Ashlen's Reclamation Sage, preventing any potential advantage.

Summary

The game kicked off with a quick start from Ashlen with a turn two Toski, Bearer of Secrets, leading to an early threat from her side. She managed to play multiple lands quickly due to the Burgeoning card. However, Josh, playing Blex, Vexing Pest, used Witherbloom Command to reduce Toski's power, making it a lesser threat. Despite this setback, Ashlen continued to establish a strong board presence with multiple creatures in subsequent turns, providing her with substantial card draw from Toski. Meanwhile, The Professor with Sygg, River Cutthroat, managed to get a Sword of Feast and Famine into play but it was swiftly dealt with by Ashlen's Reclamation Sage. The game was filled with strategic plays and tension as each player tried to navigate the threats and maintain their board state.
