The game began with players establishing their mana bases and developing board presence, with early plays including ramp artifacts such as Jet Medallion and Thran Dynamo, and the casting of key commanders like Tymna the Weaver and Savra, Queen of the Golgari. The early skirmishes saw aggressive swings with creatures like Smuggler's Copter and artifact synergies from Silas Renn, while spells like Greater Auramancy and Mirrormade fortified enchantment strategies. Several interactive plays occurred, including Geth, Lord of the Vault stealing and reanimating key creatures, and multiple board wipes such as Oblivion Stone resetting the battlefield, causing all players to recalibrate their strategies.
