Summary

In this Commander gameplay, the players choose decks that harken back to their early days of playing Magic: The Gathering. The game starts off with a friendly vibe as Josh plays Howling Mine, allowing everyone to draw extra cards each turn. However, the tension quickly rises with Kathleen's Ghoul-Dra's Assassin posing a potential threat to the other players. Jimmy, on the other hand, is setting up his mana base effectively with Braid of Fire and Ancient Tomb, while Graham's strategy seems to revolve around his Chromium deck using old frame cards. The game reaches a critical point when Kathleen plays Unstable Obelisk, a card that could potentially deal with enchantments and artifacts, a rare capability for a mono-black deck.
