Summary

The game featured a steady build-up of board state by all players with commanders Bello, Wick, Cruelclaw, and Flubs leading their respective decks. Bello's strategy was primarily focused on ramping and building a formidable army, using cards like 'The Great Henge' and 'Unnatural Growth' to boost his creatures. On the other hand, Wick's deck was all about generating rat tokens and drawing cards while Cruelclaw aimed to maximize value from cards exiled and cast through its ability. Flubs, while managing to draw multiple cards through its triggered ability, eventually fell to Bello's massive attack. However, the game took a dramatic turn when Extra, piloting the deck led by Wick, managed to take out John (Bello's controller) and later Tom (Cruelclaw's controller) using Wick's draw and damage ability. The game concluded with a victorious snail onslaught, courtesy of 'Maskwood Nexus'.
