Summary

The game featured four distinct decks showcasing unique strategies and synergies. Early on, the snow-themed deck led by Jorn, God of Winter capitalized on snow permanents to generate repeated untap effects, enabling aggressive board development. Victor, Valgavoth's Seneschal focused on enchantment value and graveyard recursion, using incremental advantage from surveil triggers and forced discards to control the game flow. Azlask, the Swelling Scourge employed a creature-morph mechanic-heavy build, playing numerous face-down creatures to exploit morph synergies, reduce costs, and draw cards, establishing a strong board presence. Aminatou, Veil Piercer utilized enchantment-based miracles with heavy card draw and topdeck manipulation to accelerate powerful enchantments onto the battlefield at reduced costs, aiming to overwhelm opponents with enchantment value and disruption. Key turning points included Victor triggering multiple surveil and discard effects to disrupt opponents' hands, while Azlask's continuous morph plays generated card advantage and board pressure. Jorn's snow synergy enabled repeated untaps of snow permanents, allowing multiple attacks and mana acceleration. Aminatou's ability to cast expensive enchantments cheaply began to shift the game in her favor as she assembled her enchantment toolbox. The game revolved around incremental advantage through value engines and board development rather than immediate combos, with each player leveraging their deck's core mechanics to gain tempo and control resources.
