Summary
The game started off with a steady build-up of board states, with each player setting up their mana base and initial creatures and artifacts. A significant turning point occurred when Shane, playing 'He Who Hungers', cast 'Toxic Deluge' paying 6 life to wipe the board. This play reset the board and changed the momentum of the game. Another key event was when Ben, commanding 'Tivit, Seller of Secrets', used 'Sun Titan' and 'Phantasmal Image' to generate significant card advantage and board presence. However, Chris, commanding 'Brion Stoutarm', made a surprising comeback with 'Song-Mad Treachery', stealing Ben's 'Sun Titan', and then using 'Fling' to deal massive damage to Ben. Despite these moves, the game ended in an intense finale with Shane's 'He Who Hungers' deck taking the victory.
