Summary

The gameplay started with each player setting up their board state and ramping up their mana. Early in the game, Shane cast Mystic Remora, which provided card advantage by drawing extra cards. David, playing Ghired, managed to get an early lead by populating Rhinos, but Dominic's Phylath deck ramped up quickly, generating multiple plant tokens and bolstering them with +1/+1 counters. Chris, with his Kalamax deck, disrupted the board state by casting Snap to bounce Phylath and two plant tokens. While Shane's Donal deck was able to generate spirit tokens, it struggled to keep pace with the rapidly escalating board. The game climaxed with Dominic swinging a massive plant army, which was then disrupted by a well-timed Rapid Hybridization from Shane.
