Summary

The game started with a flurry of mana ramp from all players, notably Aaron and Shivam, who both managed to get Mana Crypt out on their first turns. Shivam swiftly followed this up with a turn two Pako, Arcane Retriever, which was promptly dealt with by Eliot's Teferi, Time Raveler. Ben, playing Urza, Lord High Artificer, was able to establish a solid artifact-based board state including an Aether Spellbomb and Jeweled Lotus. In a surprising twist, Ben then cast Time Twister, resetting hands and graveyards, indicating a potential shift in the game's tempo.
