Summary
The game started with all players setting up their mana bases and first few turns focusing on ramp and draw effects. Bill, playing Saskia, aimed for a creature-heavy strategy using Saskia's damage duplication ability. Ben, piloting Erebos, focused on a 'death by a thousand cuts' strategy, aiming to slowly chip away at opponents' life totals. Aaron, with The Master, Transcendent, pursued a self-mill strategy, aiming to create a board of powerful mutants. Madison, commanding Elenda, aimed for a vampire aristocrats strategy, looking to capitalize on sacrifice synergies. Ben's Erebos deck seemed to have the most momentum, with an early Sol Ring and Arcane Signet setting up a rapid progression of life-draining enchantments.
