CRIM AND LUA PLAY cEDH WITH PLAY TO WIN!!

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.
