Summary

The game started off with each player introducing their decks and expressing their strategies for the match. Jim, playing Kodama / Vial Smasher, focused on manipulating the balance of lands with Kodama for free permanent placements. Alex, with Fynn the Fangbearer, aimed for a quick win via an aggro deck that deals poison damage. Jan's Quintorius BAG deck was designed around exiling and playing cards from the graveyard to create spirit tokens and win through beatdown. Lastly, Chris, the special guest and creator of all the decks, played Rionya, Fire Dancer, a mono-red deck that's part Spellslinger and part creature clones, aiming for a big, explosive turn to destroy the table. The early game saw players setting up their boards, with Alex managing to land some early poison counters on Jim. Jan started filling his Bag of Holding with discarded cards for future use, while Chris equipped his commander with Lightning Greaves and Swiftfoot Boots for protection.
