Gameplay Summary

The game began with each player setting up their mana bases and early board states, with Rograkh/Thrasios leveraging land drops and mana acceleration, Lumra deploying disruptive milling and graveyard recursion, Kinnan focusing on ramp and efficient creature development, and Tymna the Weaver working through card advantage and incremental value.

Early plays included Cavern of Souls naming Elemental to protect key creatures and strategic use of mana rocks like Chrome Mox for acceleration.

Lumra's ability to mill and bring back creatures created a persistent threat, while Kinnan's ramp and card draw began to accelerate his game plan. As the midgame unfolded, important interactions such as casting enduring vitality and fighting over critical spells shaped the board.

Notably, Lumra's EQB triggered milling and graveyard recursion put pressure on opponents, forcing them to respond carefully.

The players negotiated over key plays like Seedborn Muse, with some opting to let vital enchantments resolve to avoid wasting removal or counters.

Combat phases became pivotal, with attacks and blocks carefully considered to maximize damage and minimize losses.
