Summary

The game began with an explosive start from the Tevesh Szat and Kraum, Ludevic's Opus partner deck, leveraging fast mana artifacts such as Jeweled Lotus, Mana Crypt, and Lotus Petal to establish early board presence and card advantage. Mike aggressively attacked with Kraum to pressure opponents while generating value through Tevesh's token creation. Ryan, piloting Godo, Bandit Warlord, focused on ramping mana quickly with cards like Mana Vault and City of Traitors to cast Godo early and pursue a Helm of the Host combo, aiming to generate multiple combat phases and lethal attacks. Meanwhile, Zack on Kess, Dissident Mage, and Folger on Tasigur, the Golden Fang, played more reactive and control-oriented strategies, with Kess seeking storm combos and recursion through Underworld Breach, and Tasigur focusing on interactive disruption and value recursion bolstered by cards like Hullbreacher and Opposition Agent.
