Summary
The game kicked off with all players developing their board states and ramping their mana. Jon took an aggressive stance early on, consistently attacking Ara and significantly reducing his life total. Ara, piloting Omo, Queen of Vesuva, managed to assemble a formidable board presence, casting a large Hydroid Krasis and a Terastodon that destroyed Matt's three non-basic lands. Max, playing Disa the Restless, attempted to control the board by casting River's Rebuke, causing Ara to sacrifice one of his larger creatures. Despite losing most of his lands to Ara's Terastodon, Jon made a comeback by casting Akroma's Will, giving his creatures flying, double strike and vigilance and knocking Ara down to 4 life. Ara then managed to draw a large number of cards, strengthening his position. However, the game's conclusion is not provided in the transcript.
