Gameplay Summary

In this holiday-themed game, each player constructed their deck around a favorite holiday song, leading to unique strategies and card choices.

The game started slow, with the players setting up their mana base and casting ramp spells.

Jimmy Wong's 'Yurlok of Scorch Thrash' deck, themed around 'Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire', focused on mana generation and burn effects.

Josh 'Xell' Kim piloted a 'Linden, the Steadfast Queen' deck that revolved around the song 'White Christmas', aiming to flood the board with creatures with white mana symbols.

'Ladee Danger' ran a 'Doran, the Siege Tower' deck inspired by 'Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree', which was packed with Treefolk and mana rocks.

The 'Jegantha, the Wellspring' deck, themed after 'Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer' and piloted by JLK, was an unusual mix of Elk tribe and vehicle cards.

The game was a merry mix of strategies, with plenty of unexpected interactions and shifts in board state.
