The game started off with the players introducing their commanders and initial strategies. SmallAnt, playing Vorel of the Hull Clade, kicked off the game with an ozolith, suggesting a counters strategy. Ben, playing Graaz, the Juggernaut, made a strong start with an Inventor's Fair, Sol Ring, and Guardian Idol, hinting at an artifact-focused deck. Ali, piloting Vorinclex, started with slower ramp, while the player with Vishgraz, the Doomhive, played a Tireless Provisioner for treasure generation, indicating a potential token strategy.
