Adokas's Opening Move

Adokas made his first move, pressing into Grixis. His opening strike was met by the Grand Necromancer’s rearguard. The frontline was primarily made up of the poisonous Kederekt Creepers. Adokas’s minions were struck down by the poisoned fiends along with weakening Grixis spells. Rallying his forces Adokas prepared his banishment charms to deal with the most dangerous Grixis creatures. The progressive Esper advance was slow, but with Adokas banishing charms making key holes in the Grixis line they made their way next to a training ground.

In Bant Adokas met with a Naya force lead by the Elven leader Searyn. Adokas was caught entirely off guard by the Elven attack. After being driven back Adokas identified the Gargantuans as threats, but mismanaging his resources he was unable to stop the elves from slipping through in darting attacks. Searyn was intrigued by the capsules with potent deathmagic inside, seeking to mirror his life and death magic.

Marcial struck out into Esper, hitting hard and fast and pushing back the Sphinx Adokas’s forces. Adokas rallied his troops and formed a second line, ready to repel the invading army. His line held, pushing back Marcial’s men. Both sides reformed and squared off, ready to strike the finishing blow. Marcial and Adokas each used all of their tactical skill, but Marcial took careful effort to preserve his forces from Adokas’s death spells, and his Aven regiments flew through for the victory.
