Summary

The game began with players setting up their mana bases and early card advantage engines. Vivi Ornitier focused on building up counters and dealing incremental burn damage with her +1/+1 counters and Curiosity effect, generating a steady stream of cards and damage. Chad on Blue Farm utilized four-color value engines and aimed to win through combos involving Thassa's Oracle or Underworld Breach. Shane piloting Grist, the Hunger Tide, aimed for a Hulk combo by assembling Protean Hulk in the graveyard and reanimating it for a game-winning sacrifice loop, while Brady's Kona deck sought to leverage big creatures with Stax effects to dominate combat. Early turns featured key plays such as casting Mystic Study and Consecrated Sphinx, which ramped card draw significantly, and Chad’s use of Lion's Eye Diamond and Grim Monolith to generate large amounts of mana in a single turn, threatening to explode the board.
