Summary
The game kicked off with a quick start from Seth, who played his commander Galadriel, Elven-Queen, on the second turn, thanks to a first turn Sol Ring. He followed up by playing Elvish Archdruid, one of the strongest cards in his deck, which generated a lot of mana and pressured the other players. Richard, playing Éowyn, Shieldmaiden, brought out Verge Rangers early, setting up for future land plays. The players used their commanders and other cards to manipulate the board state and outmaneuver each other, with Seth's early advantage creating a significant target on his back.
