Summary

This was followed by his commander, Lavinia, Azorius Renegade, which had the potential to slow down his opponents. DJ also made a strong start by playing Skull Clamp, a key piece in his Teysa Karlov deck, which could potentially allow him to draw many cards.

Vinny, playing Nikya of the Old Ways, had a slower start but played a Mana Gorger Hydra, which could become a massive threat if left unchecked.
