Summary

The game started with each player trying to establish their board presence, with Otrimi, Baru, and Sivitri players ramping up their mana and Tivit focusing on accumulating card advantage. A pivotal moment came when the Baru player dropped a Sandwurm Convergence, a potent defense and token generator, only for it to be countered by a Deny the Witch from the Tivit player. The game then shifted in favor of Sivitri, first by casting a Shimmer Dragon then using Whir of Invention to fetch Sharding Sphinx, an artifact creature that could generate a swarm of flying Thopters. The game ended abruptly due to a transcript cut-off.
