Summary

The game starts off with players laying down their initial land and creature sets. Early notable plays included Crim and Lua with a power play involving a Gemstone Caverns, leading to a swift Bitterblossom setup. Despite a strong start, Dylan's Ristic Study gets countered by Crim's Deadly Rollick, which targeted a powerful Seedborn Muse. This back and forth continues with players attempting to establish a dominant board state while also trying to disrupt the plans of others. The tension ramps up as players begin to optimize their strategies, with a particularly notable move from Dylan who used an Orcish Lumberjack as a negotiation tool to get through with Ragavan.
