Summary
The game started with all four players developing their mana bases and setting up early board presence. Titania's player focused on ramping with lands and mana dorks, quickly establishing a growing army of elementals using Titania's ability. Meanwhile, the Dakkon Blackblade player assembled mana and card advantage with Expedition Map and Amulet of Vigor, aiming to leverage powerful equipment and lands. Roon of the Hidden Realm's pilot utilized flicker effects with Restoration Angel and Wall of Blossoms to draw cards and protect key creatures, while Sakashima's player created a large token presence by copying Avenger of Zendikar. A key turning point occurred when Titania’s player cast Raska’s Expertise to draw cards and put Beast Within into play, removing an opposing Avenger of Zendikar and disrupting the token strategy. However, Titania was stolen by Sakashima’s player, shifting the balance of power.
