The player with Derevi, Empyrial Tactician, was able to get a strong start with a turn one Drannith Magistrate, slowing down the other players' strategies, followed by a turn two Derevi. In the meantime, the player commanding Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder, was able to set up a Mystic Remora for card draw. The player with Glarb, Calamity's Augur, struggled with a mulligan down to five and had a slow start.
