Summary

Alex, playing Felisa, Fang of Silverquill, had a steady buildup with Luminarc Aspirant, but unfortunately missed a land drop and had to rely on Land Tax, but made a comeback by using Collective Effort to remove Plarg and Nasari. Chandler, on the Hobbits deck, made good use of the life gain strategy and was able to trigger Frodo's ability multiple times. Shelby, playing Shelob, managed to muster a formidable board presence with Shelob and Arachnus Spinner, dealing significant damage to Alex. The game continued to escalate with Jason casting his commanders and attacking Alex, while Shelby and Chandler also made significant advancements on the board.
