Summary

The game starts with each player developing their board around their tribal or thematic strategies: zombies for Wilhelt, vampires for Strefan, werewolves for Tovolar, and spirits for Millicent. Early turns see players ramping mana and establishing key creatures and enchantments, such as Sylvan Library for card advantage and Dictate of Erebos to punish creature deaths. Wilhelt's player leverages sacrifice and zombie token generation to maintain board presence, while Strefan creates blood tokens to cheat out big vampires and uses removal combos. Tovolar aggressively attacks with a haste-equipped commander and builds a powerful werewolf board with card draw engines like Toesky, Bearer of Secrets. Millicent's player builds a flying spirit army, leveraging anthem effects like Empyrean Eagle and buffs from Drugskull Captain.
