Summary
The game began with both players setting up their mana bases, though the Mistform Ultimus player struggled initially with land drops, leading to a mulligan down to three cards. Eventually, the Mistform deck found its footing by assembling ramp and utility creatures, including Grand Architect and Sign in Blood to accelerate mana and card draw. This allowed a smooth transition into casting Mistform Ultimus, a shapeshifting creature with every creature type, supported by numerous tribal lords to boost its power. The deck aimed to leverage this synergy for a strong board presence. On the opposing side, Kemba, Kha Regent steadily equipped herself with various equipment artifacts, growing her army of cat tokens and becoming a formidable Voltron threat. The Kemba player focused on amassing equipment to increase pressure quickly. A pivotal moment was when Mistform Ultimus’s controller planned to steal the fully equipped Kemba, setting up a potential game-winning swing. However, recognizing the threat and the board state, the Kemba player ultimately scooped. The game highlighted the contrasting strategies of tribal synergy and Voltron aggression, with Mistform Ultimus’s versatile creature typing and control elements proving decisive.
