Summary

The game starts off with the players developing their boards and ramping their mana. JLK playing Obosh, the Preypiercer ramps significantly and gets Obosh out early, trying to leverage its ability to deal double damage with odd CMC spells. Manson playing Kykar, Wind's Fury, manages to get Kykar out and starts generating spirits. However, the game takes a turn when Ashlen playing Xantcha, Sleeper Agent, plays a Treasure Nabber, threatening to take control of the other players' mana rocks. The Nabber is quickly dealt with by JLK's lightning bolt, maintaining the balance of the game. Jake playing Reyhan, Last of the Abzan, and Ishai, Ojutai Dragonspeaker, keeps a low profile while slowly setting up his +1/+1 counters strategy with a Colonial Hydra.
