Summary

The game started with each player developing their board state and casting their commanders. Jim commanding Geralf, Visionary Stitcher, focused on building a zombie army while Crim's Alela, Cunning Conqueror deck produced a swarm of fairies. Serge, leading Liesa, Forgotten Archangel, aimed to maintain air superiority with his angel deck, but found the flying zombies and fairies challenging. Ben's Hama Pashar, Ruin Seeker was a dungeon deck that repeatedly ventured into the Tomb of Annihilation. Crim's Alela deck added a twist by creating goaded Pirate tokens for opponents whenever his fairies dealt combat damage. The mid-game was a tug of war, with each player strategically advancing their board states and navigating through the dynamics of flying creatures, dungeons, and token generation.
