Summary

The game started out with players ramping up their board states, wherein DrLupo, playing Don Andres, the Renegade, managed to get off to an early lead by dealing first blood, hitting Brian Kibler for six. This aggressive start was facilitated by a combination of Don Andres' abilities and the 'Indomitable', a powerful vehicle that allowed for a strong, early attack. On the other hand, Olivia Gobert-Hicks's Lord Windgrace deck seemed to be having difficulty getting off the ground, with a hand full of high CMC cards. The game then saw a shift in tempo as Pantlaza, Sun-Favored, played by Brian Kibler, managed to get a Ramunap Excavator on the board, setting up for potential land recursion strategies in the future.
