Summary

The game kicked off with players building up their board states and setting up their respective strategies. Corey, commanding Kentaro, the Smiling Cat, was the first to make a significant move by playing 'Dragon Tempest' and 'Terror of the Peaks', indicating a dragon-themed strategy. However, his 'Terror of the Peaks' was quickly neutralized. Following this, Jeremy, leading with Syr Elenora, the Discerning, played 'Lazotep Chancellor', hinting at a discard strategy. The game quickly escalated as players started to deploy more powerful spells and creatures. Jonathan Suarez, with Ben-Ben, Akki Hermit in command, demonstrated a mountain-centric strategy, creating tension on the board. Stephen, commanding Cao Cao, Lord of Wei, kept a low-profile throughout the initial turns, slowly building up his forces.
