Summary

The game started off with Shivam piloting Minsc & Boo and Benjamin with Kogla, the Titan Ape, establishing a quick board presence with mana ramp and creatures. However, the table was soon under pressure from the Pramikon player's Voltron vehicles strategy, which threatened to disrupt the game's tempo. Meanwhile, the Queza, Augur of Agonies player laid low, focusing on a card draw strategy and slowly gaining advantage. As the game progressed, the branching evolution played by the Minsc & Boo deck became a significant threat, but the looming presence of Pramikon's Voltron vehicles and Queza's card advantage strategy kept the table in a tense equilibrium.
