Gameplay Summary

This game starts off with all players steadily setting up their boards.

Ashad, the Lone Cyberman deck, led by Cody, starts to make headway with powerful artifact synergies.

Matt's 10th Doctor and Rose Tyler deck also begins to gain some momentum through suspending cards and casting them from exile for cheaper mana costs.

Sam's 9th Doctor and Clara Oswald deck focuses on maximizing upkeep effects, while Seth's River Song deck manipulates his library to his advantage.

As the game progresses, the board state begins to shift with Ashad's powerful artifacts and the 10th Doctor's suspended cards.

Seth's River Song deck also sees some action with deck manipulation, drawing and tutoring cards.

The game reaches a turning point when Matt, piloting the 10th Doctor and Rose Tyler deck, exiles the powerful card Apocalypse with the 10th Doctor's ability.
