Summary

The Doctor Who-themed game started off with players setting up their board with mana and casting their commanders. Jason, playing The Cyber-Controller, focused on milling opponents and creating 2/2 Cybermen tokens. Corbin, piloting Missy, had a morph-themed control deck, while Matt combined The Ninth Doctor with Vislor Turlough for multiple upkeep triggers. Nate, commanding Me, the Immortal, played a growth-centric deck with a focus on +1/+1 counters and resilience. The Cyber-Controller's mill and Cybermen strategy began to take effect, while Missy's morph creatures added a layer of mystery. The Ninth Doctor's multiple upkeeps didn't have much impact early on, but the potential was clear, while Me, the Immortal proved hard to remove from the field. The Cyber-Controller then cast a huge spell - 'Mi Hook Massacre' - causing significant life loss, but was countered by Matt, resulting in a pivotal turn in the game.
