Summary

The game started off with a slow burn as players set up their mana bases and early defenses. The game quickly took a turn when the player with the Marrow-Gnawer deck activated Alter of The Brood, forcing all players to mill, much to the chagrin of the other players. As the game continued, the Tyvar player began to gain ground by generating mana and buffing their elves. The Galea player also started to build momentum by attaching powerful equipment to Galea and dealing significant damage. However, the Omnath player had a slow start due to a mana-heavy hand and was not able to fully capitalize on Omnath's abilities.
