Gameplay Summary

The game began with each player establishing their early board presence appropriate to their deck strategies.

Joel, piloting Kroxa, Titan of Death's Hunger, rapidly set up discard and graveyard synergies using Waste Not and repeated discard effects like Burning Inquiry and Underworld Breach, generating multiple Zombie tokens and drawing a large volume of cards.

He used Necromancy and Animate Dead to bring back key creatures such as Notion Thief, while continuously pressuring opponents' hands and resources.

Crossfirecat’s Geyadrone Dihada deck focused on controlling the board and leveraging planeswalkers, including Daretti and Teferi, Master of Time, along with value engines like Notion Thief and Spark Double to disrupt opponents and generate card advantage.

Alex’s Selvala deck aimed to assemble an infinite mana combo through traditional ramp and storm elements, though his early plays were interrupted by discard and creature removal.

Xavier piloted a Karlov Voltron deck with life gain synergies, steadily growing Karlov’s counters and maintaining board presence with creatures like Soul's Attendant and Mother of Ruins.
