Summary

The game began with all four players developing their boards through mana ramp and early creature plays, setting up for their respective strategies. Galadriel started by establishing an elf-based ramp engine, including Elvish Chorus to accelerate mana and enable casting creatures from the top of the library. Nekusar focused on card draw and damage synergy with cards like Master of the Feast and Orcish Foilmaster, creating pressure by dealing damage as opponents draw cards. Bello developed a vehicle and enchantment synergy deck aimed at cheating out powerful creatures and running over opponents.
