Summary

The game starts off with each player setting up their initial board states. Winter, the Cynical Opportunist, managed to get a quick start with a Dryad Arbor while Aminatou, Veil Piercer, and Valgavoth, Harrower of Souls, both set up with Arcane Signets. Zimone, Mystery Unraveler, however, took a more aggressive route by casting Trygon Predator to threaten the field's artifacts and enchantments. As the game progressed, Winter further bolstered their board state by casting Grist, the Hunger Tide, creating a 1/1 insect token and milling cards for potential graveyard strategies. Valgavoth introduced an interesting dynamic by casting Theater of Horrors, setting up a potential engine for card advantage. The game is poised for interesting interactions, with an escalating board state and growing threats from each commander.
