Summary

This was a thrilling game that showcased a variety of unique strategies and interactions. Surge, playing Archangel Avacyn, focused on a theme of justice and karma, alternating between angelic and wrathful strategies. Kyle, playing Sliver Overlord, ramped up his mana with Gemhide Sliver and aimed to win with poison counters, using shifting slivers to ensure his opponents couldn't block. Olivia, playing Gluntch, the Bestower, played a monored goblin deck with a Jund twist, helmed by the Shattergang Brothers. The Professor surprised everyone by opting for a Thrun, the Last Troll deck instead of his fully optimized Sliver deck. Despite the threats posed by the sliver and goblin decks, the game saw a lot of back-and-forth with no clear frontrunner. The turning point came when the Professor played Thrun, the Last Troll, a card he has a personal connection with. This sparked a series of events that eventually led to his victory.
