Summary

The game started off with each player laying down their foundations and setting up their respective strategies. Ian's deck was the first to show signs of its strategy, focusing on morphing creatures and untapping enchanted lands. Jason's Ramos deck then displayed its game plan of casting spells that would either win or lose the game for him. After a relatively quiet early game from Ethan and Brent, the game started to heat up when Jason cast 'Hitetsugu's Consumes All', destroying all non-land permanents with CMC one or less. This resulted in a major shift in board state, and the tempo of the game. After this, the game continued with players building up their boards again and attempting to maneuver into winning positions.
