Summary

The game kicked off with each player setting up their board states and ramping, with each player's deck strategies starting to shine through. Tim's Tovolar deck started amassing an army of werewolves, while Ashley's Falco deck began placing counters on creatures. Sam's Chishiro deck focused on modifying creatures and creating tokens, while Matt's Raffine deck was all about drawing cards and cycling through his deck quickly. A key turning point in the game was when Ashley cast Shield Broker, gaining control of Tim's Vigor and shifting the balance of power. Despite the players' best efforts to control the board and each other's strategies, the game ended unresolved due to the transcript truncation. The final board state had each player poised for big plays, with dynamic interactions between the decks.
