Gameplay Summary

In this high-stakes game, all four players start by setting up their boards and casting their commanders.

Josh, playing Prosper, Tome-Bound, manages to get an early lead by exiling and playing a Chandra, Fire Artisan and a Mana Vault from exile, generating a treasure token each time due to Prosper's ability.

Jordan, playing Nemata, Grove Guardian, focuses on ramping and building up a board of sapperlings.

Gaurav, piloting Oloro, Ageless Ascetic, steadily gains life each turn due to Oloro's ability and sets up a defensive strategy.

Craig, playing Nicol Bolas, takes a more cautious approach, possibly hinting at a control or reactive strategy.
