Gameplay Summary

The game begins with players developing their mana bases and early board presence, highlighted by a Ragavan play and fetch land sequences.

A key early interaction is the casting of Chalice of the Void on one, which locks out many zero-cost spells and disrupts common fast mana strategies.

One player holds onto a significant amount of mana but lacks interaction, creating tension about whether to 'feed the fish' (i.e., allowing a Ragavan to trigger and gain value).

The Sisay player is identified as a significant threat with potential combos, which forces other players to consider their priorities carefully.

Throughout the game, players discuss the implications of feeding or denying Ragavan triggers and the importance of interaction on the board to maintain control.
