Early plays focused on land drops, artifact ramp, and deploying value creatures such as Seren Steel Seeker to generate incremental advantage.
The Cabbage Merchant leveraged convoke spells and artifact synergies to accelerate their board state, while Naru Meha's player utilized blue control and card draw spells to maintain tempo.
