Summary

The game began with players ramping mana quickly and setting up their board states. Blake, piloting Angus Mackenzie, focused on defensive plays with his fog ability to prevent combat damage, trying to stall the game. CGB, on the other hand, utilized the synergy of Pir and Toothy to generate massive card draw and grow Toothy into a huge threat, aiming to win either through overwhelming creatures or combo finishers like Triskaidekaphile and Thassa's Oracle. Ben's Momir Vig deck prioritized creature token generation and utilized Craterhoof Behemoth for a potential game-ending alpha strike. Meanwhile, Shea played Nekusar, the Mindrazer, turning the card draw strategies of opponents against them by dealing damage each time they drew extra cards, creating a taxing environment for the group. Early on, the game saw players strategically using mana dorks, ramp spells, and enchantments like Parallel Lives and Opposition to build their board presence and disrupt opponents. The tension rose as card draw and discard effects began to interact, with Liliana's Caress and Forced Fruition creating painful life loss triggers and Nekusar punishing opponents for drawing cards. The game was a battle of attrition and combo execution, with each player leveraging their deck's unique strengths toward their win conditions.
