Summary
The game began with players establishing their board presence. Jason, playing Nissa, Resurgent Animist, quickly ramped up his land count and began deploying threats, while Eddie's Samut, Vizier of Naktamun was aggressive as expected. Matt, playing Ob Nixilis, Captive Kingpin, tried to control the board, but the game was heavily influenced by Nate's Calix, Guided by Fate. Nate amassed a large number of enchantments, primarily on his Setessan Champion, making it a formidable threat that could not be easily dealt with due to protection from creatures. This led to a significant swing in momentum in Nate's favor. Jason attempted to counteract this with Animist's Awakening and other ramp cards, but it was too late, as Nate's board state was too dominant.
