Summary
The game started with players setting up their board states with notable early plays including Vanessa's 'Smothering Tithe' and Julian's 'Repercussion'. Carlos played a 'Goblin Bombardment' and 'Burgeoning' to create a sacrificial advantage and accelerate his land drops. Vanessa's 'Atla Palani, Nest Tender' got equipped with 'Lightning Greaves', making it difficult for opponents to interact with it. Kai's 'Tatyova, Benthic Druid' got immediately removed by Vanessa's 'Path to Exile', but Kai had a counter spell 'Arcane Denial', which resulted in a card draw on the next upkeep. Later in the game, Carlos managed to play 'Emeria Angel' and 'Knight of the Reliquary', creating a flying threat and further enhancing his landfall strategy.
