Summary

The game kicked off with all players quickly setting up their boards with mana ramp and utility artifacts. Josh, using the commander Tishana, Voice of Thunder, started to amass an army of elves, while Jimmy quickly ramped up his mana base to bring out his dinosaur-themed deck with Gishath, Sun's Avatar at the helm. Ashlen's Admiral Beckett Brass deck focused on pirate tribal synergies, with an early Kitesail Freebooter disrupting Josh's plans by exiling his key card, Cryptolith Rite. Meanwhile, Christine aimed for a lifegain strategy with Vona, Butcher of Magan as her commander, but was thwarted by Jimmy's Rampaging Ferocidon, which prevented all players from gaining life. The tables turned when Ashlen played Marchesa, the Black Rose, making her board resilient against board wipes by having her creatures return from the graveyard.
