Summary
The game started off with each player setting up their boards and their strategies. Jason, playing Queen Kayla, got off to a quick start, playing a Plains into Spring Leaf drum. Cameron, playing Brudiclad, started generating tokens, while Alex, with Veyran, started to stack and double up cast and copy triggers. Shelby, playing General Tazri, struggled to get any creatures out early on. The game took a significant turn when Jason activated Memory Jar, forcing all players to exiled their hands and draw seven new cards. Cameron, in response, casted Fierce Guardianship to copy Memory Jar, creating a complex board state. Cameron then proceeded to capitalize on this by generating even more tokens with Brudiclad, dealing huge amounts of damage to his opponents. The game ended abruptly after a series of powerful plays and interactions, with each player demonstrating creative deck-building skills and strategic gameplay.
