Gameplay Summary
The game started with all players setting up their mana bases and early board presence, with key cards like Esper Sentinel, Danith Magistrate, and Arcane Signet coming into play early.
Micah, piloting Plagon, Lord of the Beach, focused on ramping into his commander while drawing cards and assembling a board with sagas and enchantments.
Ryan and Cory leveraged strong card draw engines through Ristic Study, Mystic Remora, and other draw spells to maintain card advantage.
Sasha, playing Rograkh and Silas, aggressively built an orc army while utilizing disruptive spells like Flare of Duplication and Orcish Bowmasters to control the board and pressure opponents.
Cory and Micah both played with their partner commanders Tymna/Thrasios and Plagon respectively, aiming for midrange strategies that revolve around infinite mana combos and card draw to close out the game. Key turning points included a well-timed Flusterstorm that countered multiple Tutors, protecting crucial draws and combo pieces, and the interaction where Witch Enchanter was countered but followed up with a Blink effect that allowed card advantage to continue flow despite disruption.
The board state shifted dynamically with Sasha's orc tokens applying constant pressure, while Micah and Cory sought to stabilize and find their combo finishers.
Ultimately, the game revolved around navigating through early disruption and positioning for infinite mana and card draw combos to win, with Plagon’s ability to draw infinite cards paired with Hullbreaker Horror’s combo engine being a notable win condition to watch for.
