Summary

The game started off with the commanders Matt on Abaddon the Despoiler, Dustin on The Swarmlord, Chandler on Inquisitor Greyfax, and Cody on Szarekh, the Silent King. Matt was the first to establish a significant board presence with Bloodthirster, which allowed him to deal significant flying damage to his opponents. Cody, on the other hand, focused on artifact and graveyard synergies, resulting in a sizeable lifelink creature equipped with Cranial Plating. Dustin played a more reactive game, focusing on tyranid synergies and +1/+1 counters, while Chandler built a token army. Cody then deployed a game-changing card, 'Their Name is Death', which wiped out all non-artifact creatures. The game ended without a declared winner, but the intense struggle for board control and lifelink battles made the match a thrilling spectacle.
