Summary

The game started with all players developing their manabases and setting up their strategies. Azami, Lady of Scrolls' strategy was apparent early on, aiming to play Wizards, draw cards, and weaponize both to take out opponents. A key turning point occurred when the Lord Windgrace player cast Wheel of Fortune, refilling everyone's hands, which was a risky move considering Atraxa, Praetors' Voice's planeswalker Tamiyo on the board, potentially enabling Atraxa to play new cards for free. However, the gamble paid off as the Lord Windgrace player managed to remove Tamiyo with an Assassin's Trophy, relieving the table from the imminent threat. Azami started to gain momentum with a Lighthouse Chronologist and a Sapphire Medallion in play, potentially setting up for a big turn in the future. The game remained in a tense state with key pieces on the board and each player building towards their win conditions.
