Summary

The game started with a variety of strategies being showcased by each player. Crim, playing Sauron, The Dark Lord, focused on amassing Orc tokens and leveraging Sauron's abilities to control the board. Meanwhile, Tomer, piloting The Ur-Dragon, was aiming to abuse the tribal synergies of his changeling-filled deck. The Lord of the Nazgûl, played by Eilidh, sought to turn all her creatures into menacing Wraiths while Sidar Jabari's deck, commanded by Olivia, aimed to generate value from deploying a large number of knights and humans. In the heat of the game, Eilidh swiftly brought out Lord of the Nazgûl using a Jeweled Lotus, indicating an aggressive playstyle. Crim too brought out Mouth of Sauron, causing Olivia to mill cards, and began generating Orc tokens. As the game progressed, strategic alliances and rivalries began to form, adding an extra layer of complexity to the game.
