The game began with all four players ramping and setting up their mana bases, with early plays including fetch lands, mana rocks like Soul Ring and Mox Amber, and various utility lands such as Field of Ruin.

The Gorma the Gullet player focused on feeding the commander by sacrificing creatures to grow Gorma’s counters and leveraging its ability to buff new creatures entering the battlefield, although no direct combo was apparent early on.

Rograkh with Thrasios utilized mana acceleration to establish board presence and card advantage, while Wan Shi Tong’s player aimed to disrupt opponents by land destruction and manipulation effects like Deflecting Swat and Field of Ruin.
