Summary

The game kicked off with all players focusing on ramping up their mana base and building their strategies. Ethan's Koll deck was the first to make a significant move by casting Grim Monolith and Talisman of Conviction early into the match. However, Corey's Nature's Claim disrupted Ethan's progression by destroying his Grim Monolith. The game tempo escalated when Cody successfully cast Koma, Cosmos Serpent, which provided him with a steady supply of creature tokens each turn. The board state was further shaken when Ethan's Cleansing Nova wiped out all creatures, except for Koma, which Cody made indestructible. Later, Cameron managed to cast Orvar and generate a token copy of Cloudpost, while Corey brought out Toski and a Tireless Tracker. Towards the end of the available transcript, Ethan managed to bring out Koll, the Forgemaster, and equipped it with Skullclamp, starting to generate card advantage.
