Summary

The game began with players developing their boards and setting up their respective strategies. Vihaan, Goldwaker focused on generating treasure tokens and leveraging them to deploy additional creatures and resources. Obeka, Splitter of Seconds aimed to maximize upkeep triggers to disrupt opponents and take them out without combat damage. Meanwhile, Kuja, Genome Sorcerer centered on creating a large number of small 0/1 creatures and enhancing their damage through doublers and triplers for a devastating offensive. Teysa, Opulent Oligarch's deck was a thick, synergistic build that threatened to overwhelm opponents by doubling triggered abilities and creating value through sacrifice and death triggers. As the game progressed, Vihaan's treasure production and aggressive deployment of creatures kept steady pressure on the table. Obeka's ability to reset key moments and generate incremental advantage through upkeeps made her a challenging opponent to pin down. Kuja's damage multipliers turned a swarm of small creatures into a lethal threat, causing tension among the players. Teysa's control and value engine forced others to consider how to handle her growing board and the powerful triggered effects she enabled. The pivotal moments included managing artifact token production from Vihaan's Plunderer and the timing of Obeka's triggered abilities, which allowed for significant tempo swings. Ultimately, the game featured a dynamic interplay of treasure generation, damage amplification, and triggered ability doubling, with players carefully negotiating threats and opportunities as the board state evolved.
