Shivam, piloting Cadira, Caller of the Small, followed up with an early Elvish Mystic, indicating a potential swarm strategy.

As the game progressed, each player continued to build their board states, with Jim's artifact ramp strategy, Shivam's token generation, Bill's token duplication and Ben's land-fetch strategy all coming into play. It was a game of tight competition, with players constantly vying for control of the board state.
