Summary
The game starts off at a sprint as both Madison (Vihaan, Goldwaker) and Shivam (Felix Five-Boots) quickly establish early threats on the board with Soul Ring and Talisman plays. Shivam, in particular, gets a quick start with a combination of Tosi and Combat Research, making it a 2/2 indestructible squirrel with Ward 1 that draws two cards when it deals damage. Madison, on the other hand, deploys Smothering Tithe, a key card in her treasure-themed deck, which generates treasure tokens whenever an opponent draws a card and doesn't pay an extra mana. This card becomes a ticking time bomb as the game progresses, threatening to create a resource disparity. Meanwhile, Aaron (Calamity, Galloping Inferno) and Jim (The Gitrog, Ravenous Ride) are slower off the blocks, focusing on setting up their own board states.
