Summary
The game showcased a brutal display of EDH with a wide range of strategies. The first few turns were marked by players setting up their board states and ramping up their mana. Marie (Ardenn, Intrepid Archaeologist | Akiri, Line-Slinger) made a significant move by equipping her creatures with powerful equipment and dealing massive damage.
