The game started off with all players developing their board states with various strategies: Aesi aimed for landfall synergies, Esika sought land destruction, Ur-Dragon played Adventure dragons, and Korvold used goblin and treasure synergies. A key turning point occurred when Esika's player played Oco, Thief of Crowns and began transforming other players' key creatures into Elks. Despite this, Ur-Dragon managed to take advantage of the situation, playing Hellkite Courser, allowing it to attack and trigger an advantageous effect.
