Summary
The game started with a fairly balanced early setup, with players developing their mana bases and preparing their strategies. Prosper, Tome-Bound focused on his exile and treasure generation engine, leveraging the ability to play cards from exile to ramp and gain advantage. Meanwhile, the custom-built Fynn, the Fangbearer, introduced a unique death touch and poison counter theme, applying pressure through incremental damage and counters, though balanced to be less oppressive.
