Gameplay Summary
The game kicked off with a diverse set of strategies from the players.
Brian Kibler piloting Omnath, Locus of All, aimed for a mana-heavy playstyle, while Valgavoth, Harrower of Souls took a group slug approach, dealing damage to all players to gain benefits.
Pantlaza, Sun-Favored was piloted to leverage its dinosaur synergies, whereas Hakbal of the Surging Soul looked to explore the depths of the precon strategy.
The early game saw a rapid ramp from the Pantlaza player, establishing a strong board presence with Wayward Sawtooth and Thrashing Brontodon.
Omnath's deck, built around a unique constraint of only colored mana, struggled initially but showed potential for explosive power.
Valgavoth got on the board early, with its ability to incrementally increase damage, and Hakbal, despite a slower start, set up for more complex interactions later in the game.
