Summary

The game started off with players setting up their resources and starting engines. Seth on Zur started the game with a Mystic Remora, which triggered multiple times throughout the game, allowing him to draw a large amount of cards. Alex on Mishra focused on building a powerful artifact engine, which was evident with his casting of Arcane Signet and Thran Dynamo. Sam on Ghired focused on token generation, evident when he cast Ghired, a card that generates 4/4 rhino tokens. Chandler with Ghalta and Mavren focused on big creatures and massive attacks, one of the key plays being the casting of Elder Gargaroth, a powerful creature that provides value upon attacking or blocking. A key turning point of the game was when Seth cast a board-wipe spell, Supreme Verdict, clearing most creatures from the battlefield.
