Summary
The game kicked off with all players smoothly setting up their boards. Sam, piloting Voja, quickly established a strong board presence with creatures such as Allosaurus Shepherd, Shalai, and Halar. Matt, running Sophia, filled the board with creatures and tokens, while Ethan with Judith had a slower start but gained momentum with Alhammerat's Archive. Chandler, using Anzrag, dealt significant damage to all players with Shandra's Ignition and kept pressure with Anzrag. The turning point came when Ethan cast Mana Geyser, gaining a tremendous amount of mana. This allowed him to follow up with a series of spells from his graveyard due to Yawgmoth's Will, including a lethal Price of Progress, which, combined with Alhammerat's Archive and Judith, gained him an incredible amount of life.
