Summary

The gameplay was intense with a lot of strategic decisions and interactions between the players. Early in the game, the players had to deal with Ellivere's fast start, which put a lot of pressure on the table. However, Sisay and Atraxa managed to keep the situation under control with well-timed responses. Towards the middle of the game, the players focused on building their own board states, with Sisay seeming to be the most threatening due to his protection and control elements. Atraxa and Nadu also made significant progress, setting up their engines for potential powerful plays. The gameplay was filled with a lot of back and forth, with players constantly trying to disrupt each other's strategies while advancing their own.
