Summary

The game started with typical early mana development and minor board presence establishment. John on Tymna/Kraum opened with Jitte and quickly developed board presence, while Kyle on Slicer aggressively pursued early attacks with Slicer equipped with Fur of the Bitten to generate consistent damage. Sam on Tymna/Tevesh and Jeremy on Cormela both aimed to build value engines with their commanders and synergistic artifacts. A pivotal moment came when Jeremy used evoke Fury to kill Cormela and another creature, triggering treasure generation and shifting tempo. Meanwhile, Kyle's Slicer kept applying pressure, chipping away life totals without much resistance due to the board state and players holding back responses. The midgame featured interaction around activated abilities and combat decisions, with players weighing the cost of removal and aggression.
