Summary

In this Archenemy themed Commander VS episode, the team faced off against Cory piloting Henzie 'Toolbox' Torre, a commander that synergizes with high-cost creatures by reducing their blitz cost. Cory started off strong with a scheme card, 'My Tendrils Run Deep', that allowed him to play additional lands, helping him ramp up quickly. He followed it up with a 'Dark Ritual' to bring out his commander and a Champion of Ronus. On the other side, the team, comprising of Jeremy, John, and Steven, managed to play some early game artifacts and lands. The game then took an interesting turn as Cory drew two cards from the scheme 'My Wings Unfold'.
