Summary
The game kicked off with each player deploying their respective commanders: The Ninth Doctor, Isperia the Inscrutable, Flamewar, and Ria Ivor. Flamewar's player focused on a strategy of discarding and drawing cards, leading to an early attack on Max with equipped Blood Forge Battle Axe, generating additional copies of the axe. Isperia capitalized on their flying creatures, while the Ninth Doctor player employed a strategy focused on manipulating upkeeps. The game took a significant turn when Kevin, using Isperia, managed to steal Flamewar using a kicked Thieving Skydiver. Max, playing Ria Ivor, created a massive army of tokens with Ria's ability and Kaa, the Gist Hunter's ability. The end of the game saw a flurry of plays from Ma, who exploited multiple upkeeps with the Ninth Doctor and a Strionic Resonator to draw and exile a large number of cards.
