Summary

The game started with the players setting up their board states, playing lands and some initial spells. Notably, Jan cast a powerful 'Cultivator Caravan' early on, but it was quickly dealt with by Bill's 'Assassin's Trophy'. Jim followed with a 'Brass's Tunnel Grinder', 'Mindstone', and 'Frantic Search', setting up a potential card advantage engine with 'Conspiracy Theorist'. Alex had a slower start with no land drop on his third turn, but managed to get 'Medicant Core' out. The game seems to be in a stage of development, with the players setting up their strategies and responding to each others' threats.
