Summary

The game began with a fast-paced opening as Baal, piloting a Turbo Hellbent Tymna and Rograkh deck, attempted an early Lukka, Coppercoat Outcast play to set up a polymorph combo using Sire of Insanity. Baal’s early discard effect forced all players to lose their hands, severely disrupting the table. However, Luis’s timely Chain of Vapor on Sire of Insanity removed this threat, allowing the game to stabilize. The players gradually recovered, with Baal continuing to pressure through Tymna’s card draw and deploying disruptive elements like Blood Moon to hinder others’ mana bases. David, on Pako and Haldan, leveraged card draw and +1/+1 counters through Pako’s attack triggers and Haldan’s abilities, steadily building a strong board presence. Luis’s Toggo and Thrasios deck focused on ramp and interaction, efficiently removing threats like Hullbreacher with rock tokens generated by Toggo. The game’s tempo swung as Baal maintained aggression and board presence, but opponents found ways to disrupt and keep pace. Key moments included Baal’s use of Mana Crypt and Blood Moon to lock opponents, Luis’s aggressive removal of Hullbreacher, and David’s wheel effects fueling card advantage. The gameplay revolved around managing resources post-hand disruption, leveraging incremental advantage, and navigating through politically charged attacks and protection spells.
