Gameplay Summary

The game began with each player setting out their commanders and planning their strategies to achieve the special win condition of reaching 1,000 life.

Early on, Will, Scion of Peace, used life gain to ramp up, while Oloro, Ageless Ascetic, planned to steal life from others.

Licia, Sanguine Tribune, looked to double her life total in one big turn, and Shanna, Purifying Blade, hoped to gain life through tokens and angels.

The players quickly started to gain life, with some significant life gain cards being played early, like Lunarch Veteran and Guide of Souls.

However, a twist came when a player used a spell to force opponents to sacrifice a creature, disrupting their life gaining setups.

Despite missing a land drop, Shanna, Purifying Blade, managed to maintain a card advantage and kept on gaining life.

The game continued with the players rebuilding their board state, focusing on gaining life and disrupting others' plans.
