Summary

The game starts off with each player introducing their decks and strategies. The first few turns consist mainly of land ramping and setting up mana rocks for future plays. There is a sense of tension in the air as Phil's Vorinclex deck starts to ramp up, and a significant play is made by Sumer with Eluge, the Shoreless Sea, signaling a potential threat. Seth's Maha deck is rather quiet but seems to have a lock and control strategy up its sleeve. Richard's Tinybones deck plans on forcing opponents to discard cards and deal damage accordingly.
