Summary
The game began with each player setting up their mana base and deploying early creatures and artifacts. The Ragavan deck, piloted by Jerry, made an aggressive start, dashing in Ragavan to steal cards from opponents' libraries and generate treasures. Eliot, with the Ukkima & Cazur deck, tried to set up card draw engines with Rhystic Study, but Jan's Drannith Magistrate disrupted plans across the table by preventing players from casting cards from anywhere other than their hands. Alex and his Winota deck, on the other hand, remained relatively quiet during these early stages.
