Summary

The game begins with players establishing their board states through ramp and key early plays. Muldrotha's pilot uses Sadisi, Brood Tyrant to generate zombie tokens while leveraging graveyard recursion and card advantage through Dread Return and Necromancy. He builds a strong mana base with Lotus Petal, Birds of Paradise, and multiple lands, enabling casting of powerful creatures and spells such as Doom Whisperer and Gray Merchant of Asphodel. The Muldrotha player gains significant life and drains opponents multiple times, solidifying a dominant board presence. Meanwhile, Ghalta's deck focuses on ramping into big creatures like Hydra Broodmaster and Ghalta herself, utilizing Bear Umbra and Sword of the Animist to accelerate and protect threats. Unesh's player leverages artifact ramp and card selection through Seat of the Synod and mini-factor fiction triggers, aiming for consistent land drops and value from artifact synergies. Firesong and Sunspeaker's pilot uses burn spells and protection with Pyromancer's Goggles and Charmbreaker Devils, flashing out powerful enchantments like Primal Amulet and Scavenger Grounds to control graveyards and maintain board presence. Key turning points include Muldrotha's exploitation of graveyard recursion and mass life drain with Gray Merchant, Ghalta's aggressive alpha strike with trample and equipment, and Firesong's graveyard hate that temporarily stymies Muldrotha's strategy. The game features multiple interactions between graveyard recursion, token generation, and combat tricks, with Muldrotha's combo of Sadisi and Dread Return repeatedly fueling card advantage and resource generation, which ultimately drives the game’s momentum toward his favor.
