Gameplay Summary
The game kicked off with Tony playing Godo, Bandit Warlord, attempting to pull off an early game combo win.
However, this was thwarted by a timely Mindbreak Trap, illustrating the need for quick interaction against turbo strategies.
The players then set about establishing their boards, with the Storm player casting Ral, Storm Conduit and a Mana Vault.
The Plagon player, however, pivoted to a control role with a Giver of Runes and a Rhystic Study, aiming to control the board and draw cards to stay ahead.
The Godo player again attempted to win with a Shield Sphere and a Phyrexian Altar, but the table was ready with interaction.
The game then shifted to a more cautious pace, with players building up resources and carefully considering their options.
