Summary

The game started with each player establishing their board and ramping mana, with Edgar Markov creating early vampire tokens and Muldrotha developing a graveyard recursion setup. Atraxa focused on proliferating counters and controlling the board with planeswalkers, while Lord Windgrace ramped with lands and built up a dragon synergy. Early skirmishes involved token generation, removal spells like Ravenous Chupacabra and Swords to Plowshares, and combat that saw incremental damage and board state shifts. A key moment came when Edgar Markov leveraged his vampire tribal synergies with Legion Lieutenants, buffing his board and putting pressure on opponents. Atraxa's proliferate triggers further enhanced her planeswalkers and creatures, maintaining strong board presence.
