Summary

The game began with a typical slow mana development phase, with each player establishing their lands and early creatures. Evil Adam (Derevi) established early board presence with creatures like Avison’s Pilgrim and later played powerful pieces such as Seedborn Muse and Eldritch Evolution to ramp and find key threats. The board state shifted significantly when the Prossh player cast a devastating Overwhelming Stampede, turning their token army into a massive threat and swinging aggressively to apply pressure. This forced responses from other players, but Derevi’s card draw engine and creature untapping capabilities kept the game dynamic. A pivotal turning point occurred when the Prossh player cast Damnation, wiping the board but quickly rebuilding an intimidating board state with Prossh and token generation. Meanwhile, Evil Adam leveraged his ability to draw cards with Consecrated Sphinx and maintained a large hand size, enabling sustained plays and value. Later, Elish Norn from Evil Adam’s deck cleared much of the board, swinging momentum his way. The game featured heavy interaction with counterspells, board wipes, and synergistic plays revolving around untapping and drawing cards. Each deck fought for control, with Prossh aiming for a wide token overwhelm, Derevi controlling and drawing through creatures, Ezuri focusing on counters and incremental growth, and Momir Vig utilizing spells and creatures to generate value. The game remained tense and strategic with multiple win conditions in play.
