Summary

The game began with players developing their mana bases and setting up early board presence. Breya started by establishing artifact ramp and utility lands, while Yuriko set up evasive creatures and ninjutsu triggers. Flubs utilized discard and card draw mechanics fueled by Chrome Mox and Fortune Teller's Talent to maintain resource advantage. Sorin focused on life manipulation and graveyard interactions, casting creatures like Children of Korlis and leveraging reanimation spells. Early skirmishes included Yuriko's evasive attacks and incremental damage from Wingcrafter and other small creatures. As the game progressed, Flubs deployed Food Chain and Paradise Mantle to ramp mana and enable combo potential, though his key artifact was destroyed, forcing a tactical retreat. Breya began to assemble a reanimation and combo setup, casting Insatiable Avaris and setting up leads like LED to fuel a Bomberman reanimation combo, threatening to extort the opponents to death. Yuriko continued to pressure with ninjutsu triggers. A critical turning point was Sorin's use of Silence to neutralize a threat and the successful reanimation of creatures via Kolaghan's Command and Livelier Dead, establishing a strong board state. The game moved towards a win condition centered around Breya's ability to combo with reanimation and artifact mana to close out the game with extort damage.
