Summary
The game started off with players establishing their board presence with mana rocks and creatures. Jerry, running Etali, Primal Conqueror, attempted an early win with Jessica's Will to generate massive mana, but was thwarted by Alex's Force of Negation. Later, Alex, piloting Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy, demonstrated an infinite mana combo with Basalt Monolith and Kinnan's ability, but was disrupted by Jerry's Chain of Vapor. However, Jim cast Silence in response, preventing any further actions on the stack and Alex's win attempt fizzled. The game continued with players maneuvering around each others' threats and defenses, with several key spells and responses shaping the course of the game.
