Summary

The game began with players establishing their mana bases and casting early plays to set up their strategies. Ghired, Conclave Exile quickly established a board presence with a 4/4 trample Rhino token and used populating to create additional large attacking tokens, focusing on a straightforward aggressive token strategy. Narset, Enlightened Master utilized Path of Ancestry and tapped into her ability to cast non-creature spells from exiled cards, aiming to leverage powerful spells without paying mana costs, though her deck was described as mono-white and creature-light, emphasizing disruption and unique spell choices. Kamiz, Obscura Oculus focused on card draw and stealing opponents' creatures, using the commander’s ability to make creatures unblockable and grant double strike to smaller attackers, facilitating aggressive combat phases and value plays. Brago, King Eternal centered around flickering permanents to abuse enter-the-battlefield abilities, setting up potential infinite combos though none were explicitly triggered in the early game.
