Summary

The game started with each player setting up their respective strategies. The Memnarch player focused on ramping and maintaining a defensive posture, while Bruna and Phenax developed their board states. Bruna spent time filling up their graveyard and casting supportive enchantments, while Phenax benefited from a Ruin Crab's milling ability and played control, keeping threats in check. However, the Brion Stoutarm player conceded early in the game. A key turning point occurred when the Memnarch player attempted to play Consecrated Sphinx to gain card advantage, but it was removed by a Path to Exile from the Bruna player. The game continued with players building their boards and preparing for potential win conditions.
