Summary
The game saw an early power swing as Chainer, Nightmare Adept, piloted by CovertGoBlue, managed to establish a robust board state with a commanding lead in the first few turns. He managed to accelerate his mana production with a Sol Ring and Mine Stone, which allowed him to deploy his commander and Lolth, Spider Queen, early in the game. This put significant pressure on the rest of the table, who had a slower start. However, the game took on a more balanced tone as the other players began to respond. MTGMuddstah, playing Kolvori, God of Kinship, and AliasV, piloting Teysa, Orzhov Scion, both began to build a substantial board presence, with AliasV setting up a potent token generation combo with Anointed Procession and Field of Souls. MTGNerdGirl, piloting Dina, Soul Steeper, also began to establish her board presence with Skeletal Swarming, creating a growing army of relentless skeletons.
