Summary
The game kicked off with each player presenting their commanders and discussing their strategies. The initial turns focused mainly on land and mana ramping, with each player setting up their strategies. Jason, Xavier, Matt, and Nate were playing Lumra, Bellow of the Woods, Byrke, Long Ear of the Law, Mabel, Heir to Cragflame, and Bria, Riptide Rogue, respectively.
