Summary

The game began with a relaxed atmosphere as four players piloted preconstructed decks centered around Bello, Bard of the Brambles; The Wise Mothman; Davros, Dalek Creator; and Nelly Borca, Impulsive Accuser. Early turns focused on ramp and setting up board presence: players played lands, ramp spells like Cultivate, and mana rocks such as Sol Ring and Thran Dynamo. Bello’s deck aimed to convert enchantments into 4/4 Elementals, while Nelly focused on attacking and applying the 'accuse' mechanic to disrupt opponents. Davros, Dalek Creator, entered with a strong 3/4 menace body and began generating 3/3 artifact creatures, threatening opponents with villainous choices that force them to lose cards or allow Davros to draw. The Wise Mothman’s presence introduced an effect that revealed opponents’ cards pre-combat, increasing information and tension.
