Summary

The game was a battle of strategy and cunning, with each player having a unique hidden role to fulfill. Early in the game, Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer took the spotlight, generating a significant amount of mana through treasures and applying pressure to other players. However, the game took a defensive turn with the deployment of an enchantment preventing creatures from attacking unless their controller pays a cost, which significantly slowed down the pace of the game. Despite this, players continued to make strategic plays and build their board states, creating an engaging and dynamic game.
