Summary

The game began with players setting up their boards and casting their respective commanders. Tom (Black Panther) was the first to make significant moves, casting his commander early and accruing counters on his planeswalker. However, a well-timed Path to Exile from Tom disrupted Jon's (Captain America) plans. Jon managed to recast Captain America, getting a Colossus Hammer equipped, but Tom was prepared with a Divine Intervention. Extra's (Niv-Mizzet) spellslinger strategy started causing havoc on the board, dealing damage with every spell cast, but his commander was taken out by Jon's Rebel Salvo. A pivotal moment occurred when Sam (Slinza) managed to counter Tom's Grand Crescendo with an Entish Restoration, creating multiple beasts and drawing cards. This allowed Sam to command a strong board presence, and despite multiple attempts to disrupt his plans, Sam eventually overwhelmed his opponents with his beast army and claimed victory.
