Summary

The game started with the Teysa Karlov player going against Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow, Morophon, the Boundless, and Ramos, Dragon Engine. The Teysa player focused on building up a board presence and taking advantage of death triggers for life drain and token generation. The Yuriko player, on the other hand, managed to create early game pressure by consistently dealing damage and revealing cards with Yuriko's ability. A key turning point happened when the Ramos player tried to cast a Dark Ritual, which was countered by Yuriko’s Miscast, leading to the Ramos player's concession. As the game progressed, the Teysa player managed to build a robust arsenal of creatures ready for sacrifice, while the Yuriko player kept the pressure high with consistent attacks and control spells.
