Summary

The game starts off with the players introducing their commanders and initial strategies. All players start ramping up with mana rocks and land drops in the early game. Amy, playing Volo, Guide to Monsters, quickly establishes a strong board presence with multiple mana rocks and a Whisper Silk Cloak for her commander. Talia, piloting Kalamax, the Stormsire, has a slower start but manages to play Glen Elendra Archmage, setting up potential counterplay. On the other hand, the players piloting Lathril and Vaevictus have a slower start with less impactful plays.
