Gameplay Summary
The game started off with the players building their boards and ramping their mana.
Matt, piloting Edward Kenway, took an early lead with a powerful Hostage Taker play, copying it and taking control of all creatures on the board.
He then swung for massive damage, leaving his opponents on the back foot.
However, Chandler, piloting Gishath, responded with a well-timed Akroma's Will, giving his creatures numerous buffs and enabling a massive swing back at Matt.
Sam, playing Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, tried to rebuild his board with a Descendant's Fury play, getting extra triggers off attacks.
The game ended abruptly due to the transcript truncation.
