Summary
The game kicked off with all players discussing and revealing their Commanders and strategies. Notably, Pi was playing a group hug deck with Mrs. Bumbleflower, aiming to give card draw benefits to all players but gaining the most advantage herself. On the other hand, Chili Ben's Treebeard deck was about creating food tokens and gaining life. The game proceeded with players building their boards and making strategic plays. There was a focus on player interactions and banter, including players adopting the term 'ude' (for untap, upkeep, draw), initiated by Tamsin. Atrada, played by the host, started off aggressive, 'cloaking' cards from other player's libraries when dealing damage.
