Gameplay Summary

The game started with each player establishing their early mana bases and setting up their respective strategies.

Kinnan quickly developed a strong mana ramp using mana dorks and mana artifacts, enabling him to cast powerful spells and set up green sun's zenith to fetch key creatures.

Elsha focused on assembling a combo-centric hand with cards like Sensei's Divining Top, Brain Freeze, and Dramatic Reversal to enable infinite or near-infinite interactions.

Dihada utilized disruption and efficient creatures like Esper Sentinel and Orcish Spellmaster to pressure opponents while drawing cards and playing control elements.

Tiamat aimed to leverage her ability to fetch powerful dragons, supported by tutors like Enlightened Tutor and Mystical Tutor, setting up a toolbox approach to dominate the midgame.
