Summary

The game started with players ramping and developing their boards cautiously but with clear intentions. Muldrotha's player utilized graveyard recursion and card advantage through dredging and milling, establishing a strong value engine with cards like Field of the Dead and Demolition Field. Henzie's 'Toolbox' deck took an aggressive stance, deploying a variety of big Jund creatures and using quick ramp and combat tricks to pressure opponents early. Helga's deck focused on casting creatures for value and generating mana through synergy with cards like Salala, aiming for explosive plays with big creatures. Jodah's deck aimed to cascade into powerful legendary creatures, building a formidable board presence with impactful threats. As the game progressed, key interactions involved multiple attempts to keep opponents in check through political maneuvering and selective attacks, with players wary of the escalating board states.
