Gameplay Summary

The game began with all players setting up their board states with early ramp and creatures, each showcasing their deck's unique synergy.

The Boros landfall deck leveraged landfall triggers and efficient ramp to establish board presence, while the green decks focused on deploying large creatures and synergizing with counters and land interactions.

Early plays such as casting fan favorites like Fanatic of Ronas and Smuggler's Copter added incremental value, while players used commanders to exert pressure or ramp into bigger threats.
