Summary

The game began with each player deploying their unique strategies revolving around their chosen card types: Equipment, Vehicles, Sagas, and Auras. Early game ramp was established by all players, with Hill utilizing the Birth of Meletis saga, Crim driving out the Cultivator's Caravan vehicle, Tor brandishing the Batterskull equipment, and Seth enchanting his lands with Weirding Wood and Utopia Sprawl. A notable early interaction was Tor’s Batterskull creature attacking Crim and Phil, triggering additional card draw and land ramp. Crim then set the pace by summoning Shorikai, Genesis Engine, a key piece in his vehicle strategy.
