Summary

The game begins with the players setting up their board states and ramping up their resources. A key turn of events occurs when the Grand Arbiter player casts Mystic Remora and Confounding Conundrum, severely limiting the other players' abilities to cast spells and ramp up. This is especially detrimental for the Krark, the Thumbless player whose deck strategy is heavily reliant on casting and copying spells. The Oona, Queen of the Fae player also makes good use of their artifacts, using a combination of Sol Ring, Voltaic Key, and Lightning Greaves to generate additional mana and protect their creatures. Despite the challenging board state, the Krark player manages to keep afloat by casting and copying spells through the use of Tavern Scoundrel. The game is left at an interesting point, with Oona, Queen of the Fae on the battlefield and the Grand Arbiter player holding a strong board position.
