Summary

The game kicked off with Olivia, leading with Isshin, Two Heavens as One, taking the first turn and putting down a Godless Shrine. She quickly followed up with a Rhystic Study, ramping up her draw engine early in the game. Over the next few turns, the players built their boards with various creatures and enchantments. Eilidh, leading with Firesong and Sunspeaker, threatened to build a powerful board with red spells that gain her life and inflict bonus damage. Meanwhile, Lua, piloting Tatsunari, Toad Rider, aimed to create a swarm of frogs and leverage Sultai enchantment synergies. Amy, playing Jinnie Fay, Jetmir's Second, planned to flood the board with token creatures. The game was filled with strategic decisions, card interactions, and shifts in board advantage.
