Summary
The game started out with each player developing their boards, primarily focusing on ramping their available mana. Veggie Wagon, piloting Rocco, Cabaretti Caterer, made a significant move by tutoring out Tempting Worm. This allowed all players to put any number of non-planeswalker permanents from their hand onto the battlefield for free. However, the full impact of this play is currently unclear. Meanwhile, MTGNerdGirl, using Magar of the Magic Strings, started to establish a strategy of turning spells into creatures to recast them repeatedly. This, in theory, could lead to an overwhelming advantage as the game progresses.
