Summary

The game kicked off with Hinata, Dawn-Crowned looking to leverage its cost-reduced X-spells for board control and find a finisher to clinch the match. Jetmir, Nexus of Revels started the game strong by imposing restrictions on spell casting with Deafening Silence and Drannith Magistrate. In response, Hinata made an aggressive play by casting a Mana Drain on Jetmir's Rule of Law. Hinata then proceeded to strengthen her board presence with Rystic Study, Arc Mage Emeritus, and Ovaro. Despite the constraints imposed by Jetmir's enchantments, Hinata managed to maintain a strong defense and keep her card draw engine running. Looking forward, the game seems set to become a grind, with Borborygmos and Zetalpa, Primal Dawn building their boards and poised to make significant moves.
