*CAUTION, SPOILERS* This game was incredibly flavorful: It almost simulated an alternate ending to the Brothers War. But it includes lots of small moments that recall to the original story: · Jimmy getting on to a strong start since Yotia is the most powerful nation in Terisare at the beginning of the Brother's War. · Mishra being able to pop off thanks to the help of the phyrexians, in Phyrexian Reclamation and the Phyrexian Dragon Engine. · Mishra taking everybody by surprise in an all-out offensive and wiping The Yotian Kingdom, in Jimmy, off the map. · Ashnod, piloted by Josh, "betraying" Mishra, in Prof, so that Urza had a chance at defeating Mishra. An amazing game. Congrats!
