Summary

The game started off with a The Ur-Dragon player winning the die roll, setting up his board with an early Risen Reef and a Mist-Walker, which paved the way for an early Najeela, the Blade-Blossom. The player was able to capitalize on Najeela's ability to create an army of warriors and apply pressure on opponents. The Sisay, Weatherlight Captain player was forced to scoop early due to the overwhelming board presence of the Ur-Dragon player. The Kynaios and Tiro of Meletis player tried to establish a defense with a Wedding Announcement, but the timely draw of Harmonic Sliver by the Ur-Dragon player allowed them to dismantle the Sphere of Safety set up by the Sisay player. The game ended with the Ur-Dragon player in a dominant position, having established a strong board and removed key defensive structures of the opponents.
