The game begins with players establishing their mana bases and early plays typical of competitive EDH, including the use of fast mana artifacts like Mox Diamonds and Ancient Tomb. Cam (Kenrith) focuses on assembling a card draw engine early, aiming to leverage powerful win conditions such as Fastest Oracle and Underworld Breach. Brian (Kinnan) aims to generate massive mana and flip non-human creatures from his deck to generate infinite combos. The blue player (Yuriko) attempts to control the game with counterspells and evasive creatures like Ninjas to chip away at opponents' life totals while setting up their own board state. The Ob Nixilis player works on accumulating plus one counters and exploiting life loss triggers to exile cards and find combo pieces. Key moments include a tense interaction where a Vampiric Tutor is cast at instant speed but ultimately disrupted, and the blue player successfully counters an Enlightened Tutor with Flusterstorm, stalling a critical search for combo pieces.
