Summary

The game started with a relatively peaceful setup. Each player introduced their commanders and initial strategies. Alex, playing Pramikon, Sky Rampart, had a combat trick strategy involving walls. Aaron, commanding Lara Croft, Tomb Raider, planned to mill himself and play legendary artifacts and lands from his graveyard. Madison, with Isshin, Two Heavens as One, aimed to abuse attack triggers, while Jan, with Arvinox, the Mind Flail, planned to play all of their cards. Aaron, using Lara Croft, Tomb Raider, took an early lead with a strong attack against Jan, causing significant damage and generating treasure tokens. Madison played her commander and started attacking, reducing Jan's life total further. Jan responded with a board wipe using Damnation, resetting the board state. Madison, undeterred, recast her commander and continued attacking. Jan, in a strategic move, enchanted one of Madison's creatures with Dead Man's Chest, preparing for future advantage.
