Summary

The gameplay started off with everyone setting up their board state. The Hinata player won the die roll and started the game. The first few turns saw players developing their manabase and setting up their defenses. Karador player ramped up quickly with a Hermit Druid, while Rielle started off with a Sol Ring and Thought Vessel, presenting a potential threat. A surprising scoop from the Neheb player truncated the game to a three-player match. Hinata, Dawn-Crowned was put on the field, with protection up, setting the stage for its taxing effects. Rielle's pongify was used on Karador, but was sacrificed using the Carrion Feeder, signalling potential stax strategies. The game ended with Hinata player bouncing Rielle and Hermit Druid, and further dealing some damage to the Rielle player.
