Summary

The game started with all players setting up their boards, with Adrea playing Rin and Seri, Inseparable, struggling with mana and maintaining a small board presence. Jason, playing Rayami, First of the Fallen, gets an early advantage with mana ramp and card draw from Rhystic Study, though it was soon neutralized with a Song of the Dryads. Esmond, playing Queen Marchesa, also ramped efficiently and set a defensive posture with No Mercy. The game shifted when treachery was cast on Karazikar by the Galea player, but the threat was cleverly phased out. Jason regained the monarch and started to create a formidable board presence with Nighthawk Scavenger and Darksteel Myr, to which other players needed to respond.
