Gameplay Summary

The game began with players discussing their starting hands, emphasizing the importance of a good land base.

Early on, the table saw two Hardened Scales in play, indicating that +1/+1 counter strategies would be a significant aspect of this game.

One player deployed a Psychic Corrosion, threatening to mill opponents out over time.

Another player played Thalia, Guardian of Thraben (referred to as Mina Harker in the transcript), potentially disrupting non-creature strategies.

Players weighed their options carefully, considering whether to attack for Brina's card draw and +1/+1 counter bonuses or to focus on perceived threats.
