Summary

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. As the game progressed, the board state became more complex with various ramp spells and creatures coming into play. Ali's Vorinclex made an appearance, generating significant mana advantage, while Ben had a Blinkmoth Urn in play, providing additional mana for all players each turn.
