Gameplay Summary

The game started off with all players developing their board states with various strategies: Aesi aimed for landfall synergies, Esika sought land destruction, Ur-Dragon played Adventure dragons, and Korvold used goblin and treasure synergies.

A key turning point occurred when Esika's player played Oco, Thief of Crowns and began transforming other players' key creatures into Elks.

Mid-game, Korvold managed to play Murderous Redcap, causing some disruption on the battlefield.

However, the game took a significant turn when Nissa, Who Shakes the World was played and caused players to strategize how to deal with the new threat.
