Summary

The game kicked off with all players ramping up their mana sources and setting up their boards. Estrid, the Masked, played by Carlos, quickly started beefing up his mana base by enchanting his lands. Skullbriar, the Walking Grave, played by Jeff, started off aggressively with early swings, along with setting up a potential combo with Nim Deathmantle. Meanwhile, Anna, playing Giada, Font of Hope, focused on life gain and building up her angel army. Lastly, Josh, running Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive, was playing a control strategy, disrupting the opponents while aiming for an infinite turn combo. One of the major turning points in the game was when Carlos cast an overloaded Cyclonic Rift, bouncing all nonland permanents to their owners' hands, resetting the board to his advantage. However, the game is far from over with all players rebuilding their board states and preparing for the next round of interaction.
