Summary

The game began with each player establishing their board states with ramp, lands, and early plays that reflected their unique deck strategies. Etali, Primal Conqueror aimed to generate massive value by repeatedly casting Etali to steal cards from opponents, leveraging combos like Temur Sabertooth to produce infinite mana and multiple recasts. Greensleeves focused on land ramp to produce an overwhelming army of Badgers, utilizing cards like Awaken the Woods and Escape Shift to flood the battlefield. Balmor, Battlemage Captain pursued a storm-style strategy, generating tokens and mana to launch explosive turns with haste creatures and combos such as Burst of Speed. Muldrotha centered on graveyard recursion and big creatures, setting up powerful board states and sacrificing creatures for value and damage with cards like Lord of Extinction and Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord. Key turning points included Shay's effective use of Kenrith's Transformation to disrupt Etali while ramping aggressively with Forests, and Blake's timely deployment of Balmore and Stormkill Artist to ramp and protect his strategy. The interaction between infinite mana combos, token generation, and graveyard recursion created a dynamic game environment where each player sought to execute their worst possible scenario on others. Ben's use of Loxodon Warhammer and Sir Conrad the Grim added pressure with lifelink and high damage output, while the recurring threats from Muldrotha's graveyard synergy threatened to close the game with devastating creature sacrifices. The game showcased a blend of combo, token swarm, and graveyard strategies converging in a high-energy match with multiple paths to victory.
