Summary

The game kicked off with each player deploying their commanders and early game strategies. Ashlen, piloting Klothys, God of Destiny, went for a ramp strategy, aiming to summon huge creatures and eventually burn out her opponents. Jimmy, with Dalakos, Crafter of Wonders, focused on artifacts and equipment, planning to create a mass of creatures and equip them for a powerful aerial assault. Crim, running Thassa, Deep-Dwelling, built his deck around wizards, planning to take advantage of 'enter the battlefield' effects and keep his opponents off balance. Josh, with Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath, built his deck around Uro's second ability, planning to exploit extra land drops and landfall triggers. Later in the game, Josh managed to draw a significant number of cards and added extra lands to the battlefield due to Uro's enter the battlefield effect and escape mechanic.
