Summary

The game begins with a typical setup phase where players develop their mana bases and deploy early interaction pieces such as Mystic Remora, Null Rod, and other hate cards. Jhoira, piloted by Zach, attempts to build up storm count and card advantage using artifact synergies, but faces disruption from opponents. Folger on Ikra Shidiqi and Kraum aggressively pursues a combo with Ad Nauseam, drawing deep into his deck but gets countered by Jhoira's Swan Song early on, setting him back significantly. Mike, playing Sisay Weatherlight Captain, establishes board presence with Oko, Thief of Crowns and Teferi, Time Raveller, leveraging control and hate bears to disrupt others while assembling a toolbox of legendary creatures for win conditions. Ryan on Akroma and Tana focuses on locking the board with hate cards like Aura of Silence and Otherworldly Canonist, aiming to stall and finish with hate bears and equipment synergies.
