Summary

In a Halloween-themed EDH game, Matt's Be'lakor, the Dark Master deck, Logan's Lynde, Cheerful Tormentor deck, Chandler's The Ever-Changing 'Dane deck, and Cody's Millicent, Restless Revenant deck battled it out in a game filled with surprises and intense interactions. Early on, Chandler gained a huge advantage with a turn 1 Sol Ring followed by a Smothering Tithe, which proved to be a valuable resource throughout the game. However, the game was turned on its head when Matt sneak attacked in Rakdos, Lord of Riots and Razaketh, the Foul-Blooded, catapulting him into a strong position. Despite strong resistance, Matt's deck eventually overpowered the others due to a combination of strategic sneak attacks and well-timed board wipes.
