Down to 18 life, Sam needs to stabilise quickly- one more hit from Ghave and she’s dead to commander damage regardless of her life total. She lays a second Vow of Wildness on Ghave, then summons her own commander, Riku of Two Reflections, to the battelfield. Next turn sees Jimi go large, moving the Greaves to the Sigil Captain, placing Vow of Wildness on Ghave and swinging for 11. In retrospect, it was probably the look on my face the instant I realised that it counted cards- not just creatures-that go into graveyards. Something about the Zombie triggers an alarm in Sam’s mind as she counters it with a Spell Crumple.

Things begin to open up on turn 4 as Jimi plays a Sigil Captain, girds it with the Greaves and plows into Sam for the opening 3. I take small consolation in my Golgari Signet, followed by a turn-3 Dimir Signet after Jimi’s and Sam’s turns are blanks. We all begin with play-land-pass, but turn 2 I know I’m in for some trouble as both Jimi and Sam drop Lightning Greaves. For her part, Jimi selected the Green-Blue-Black Counterpunch. Sam opted for the doubling strategy of the Blue-based Mirror Mastery. Here is how the battle unfolded. With our focused attack policy in place, that meant that I would have to balance striking at Jimi while defending myself against Sam. Unlike previous games, the dice rolls yielded a different outcome this time- Jimi to my left, Sam to my right. ![]() Once more to the arena we go, with Devour for Power in the showcase seat.
