Summary

The game started with players setting up their mana bases and early plays, with Shauna on Niv-Mizzet, Parun countering early spells and drawing cards, Levi on Omnath, Locus of Creation aiming to ramp and flicker Omnath for value, Jrock on Talion, the Kindly Lord building quest counters for a combo, and Eli on Stella Lee, Wild Card leveraging storm and spell copying.
