Summary

The game started off with Logan's Torbran, Thane of Red Fell taking an early lead, laying down a Blood Moon to hinder opponents' mana bases and swinging for damage. However, Shelby's Kaervek, the Spiteful turned the tide with the casting of Knight of Souls' Betrayal, weakening Logan's board and causing multiple creature deaths. Chandler's Tevesh Szat and Nadier strategy was to amass a large board of tokens and use them for various effects, but was somewhat thwarted by the Blood Moon, requiring a Force of Vigor from Matt to free up his mana. Matt's Kyler, Sigardian Emissary had a slow start due to Blood Moon's restrictions, but managed to build up a presence later in the game.
