Summary

The game began with all four players deploying lands and setting up their mana bases while aiming to develop their individual strategies. Kitt Kanto focused on flooding the board with tokens and leveraging goad effects to force opponents' creatures into attacking each other, thus buying time. Henzie Torre adopted a blitz strategy, upgrading his deck for increased aggression and quicker attacks, often utilizing creatures with blitz to maintain pressure. Anhelo, the Painter, looked to leverage flashier, impactful spells and big plays to outpace opponents, while Kamiz, Obscura Oculus, played a tempo-oriented deck aimed at disrupting opponents and maintaining board presence with efficient spells and creatures. Early turns were marked by the players setting up key cards such as Smuggler's Share for treasure generation and Beast Master Ascension to potentially swing combat phases.
