Summary

The game started aggressively with each player setting up their respective board states early. Lazav began by setting up a mana base, while Malcolm tried to control the board state with counterspells. Teshar set up a potentially game-winning combo with Skull Clamp and Arcbound Ravager, while Godo focused on ramping up their mana for the inevitable Godo-Helm of the Host combo. A notable interaction occurred between Lazav and Malcolm where a potentially game-changing Entomb was countered by Miscast, only to be dispelled by Lazav. However, the game is still in the early stages and could swing in any player's favor.
