The game began with players developing their mana bases and setting up early plays, including ramp spells like Mana Crypt and card draw engines such as Mystic Remora.
Early combat involved Ragavan dealing incremental damage, establishing board presence.
A key turning point was when Dihada, Binder of Wills entered the battlefield and began leveraging artifact synergies, creating multiple treasures and attacking aggressively with Mayhem Devil triggers applying pressure.
