Deck Strategies
Kamahl, Heart of Krosa & Jeska, Thrice Reborn
This deck aims to generate large amounts of mana, potentially into the hundreds, and then capitalize on that mana through spells and abilities that can deal triple damage or produce even more mana.
Jolene, the Plunder Queen
This deck revolves around legendary Green/Red creatures, making treasures, and potentially 'accidentally' putting the entire deck onto the battlefield through a Primal Surge.
Gishath, Sun's Avatar
This deck focuses on playing a lot of dinosaurs and using Gishath's ability to put more dinosaurs into play directly from the library.
Bristly Bill, Spine Sower
This deck is a landfall deck that puts a lot of lands into play and sees what happens from there. It doesn't run any interaction.

Summary
The game started with each player setting up their boards and ramping their mana. Jim, playing Kamahl & Jeska, and Alex, with Jolene, the Plunder Queen, both implemented ramp strategies early on, while Eliot, with Gishath, Sun's Avatar, and Bill, commanding Bristly Bill, Spine Sower, focused on building their creature presence. A key turning point was when Jim cast Tectonic Giant, creating a significant threat on the board. Meanwhile, Alex played Los Green Leaf, a card with multiple abilities that could become problematic if not addressed. Bill's play of Dryad of the Ilysian Grove along with Lotus Field signaled a potential for explosive plays in the future. The game was still in its early stages with no clear frontrunner.
