Gameplay Summary

The game began with players quickly establishing their board states, utilizing ramp and early creatures to start applying pressure.

The use of mana acceleration, such as the early Soul Ring, set the stage for faster plays.

Key early plays included Tim playing Kathril, Aspect Warper, which synergized well with creating and manipulating creature tokens.
