Summary

The game began with players developing their boards cautiously, deploying key lands and early creatures to build momentum. The Yuriko player leveraged Ninjustu and ninjutsu creatures such as Ingenious Infiltrator and Ninja of the Deep Hours to trigger Yuriko's ability multiple times, dealing damage and drawing cards. Golos took advantage of ramping and utility lands, while Obuun focused on landfall synergies and ramp spells like Cultivate. Inalla's deck played a more controlling role, using spells such as Swan Song to protect important plays and generate card advantage. A pivotal moment occurred when Calvin, playing Golos, cast Chandra, Awakened Inferno and used its -3 ability to clear the board, resetting the game state but maintaining his board presence with clever impersonator copying Chandra for additional pressure. Meanwhile, Yuriko's player capitalized on ninjutsu triggers, drawing multiple cards and dealing incremental damage each turn. Obuun’s player deployed creatures like Keeper of Fables and used combat to chip away at opponents. The game saw a lot of interaction, including board wipes, counters, and multiple combat phases where Yuriko repeatedly dealt damage. The gameplay highlighted the synergy of Yuriko’s ninjutsu with efficient blockers and the threat of Golos’s powerful ramp and utility spells, setting up a tense and dynamic board state going forward.
