Deck Strategies
The Master, Multiplied

Wildsear focuses on creating a strong board presence and using its cascade effect to chain together powerful spells. It also employs enchantments to bolster its creatures.
Belbe, Corrupted Observer

Casal, Lurkwood Pathfinder // Casal, Pathbreaker Owlbear

Summary
The game started off with each player setting up their board states and mana bases, with some early aggression from AR's Pulse Tracker. Multiple Myriad triggers from the Master, Multiplied led to a significant swing in the game dynamics, striking massive damage across all opponents. However, a devastating turn from AR playing Inu's Wake wiped away the board of all of his opponents, setting the stage for a tense endgame. Max managed to keep in the game with well-timed plays and defensive strategies, but was eventually taken out by AR's strategic attacks. The game ended with Matt and the player trading blows, but a misplay with The Mending of Dominaria's shuffle effect left Matt unable to deal the lethal damage, resulting in the player's victory.
