Summary
The game kicks off with players setting up their boards and preparing their strategies. The first significant play involves the casting of a Null Rod, which stifles the potential of several key artifacts on the field. This is countered later in the game when an Unexpectedly Absent targets the Null Rod, putting it back into the library, which allows the players' artifact strategies to come back online. The game proceeds with players trying to outmaneuver each other, casting and bouncing key creatures and artifacts. The game’s momentum shifts dramatically with the casting of Tishana, Voice of Thunder, drawing the player a significant number of cards and posing a considerable threat.
