Summary

The game kicked off with players taking turns to ramp and establish their board state. The player with Maelstrom Wanderer had a slow start but managed to build a strong mana base with Nature's Lore and Migration Path. The Liberator player used an Urza's Saga for value, creating a construct token and fetching an artifact. The Rienne player cast Leyline Greaves, but their board state remained relatively unthreatening. The Chatterfang player, on the other hand, began to build a squirrel army. The Maelstrom Wanderer player managed to cascade into Terror of the Peaks and Omnath, Locus of the Roil, leading to significant damage to all opponents.
