Gameplay Insights

• 1

  Oloro’s life gain and card draw engine allowed Colin to maintain card advantage and apply continuous pressure without overcommitting to the board.

• 2

  Isshin’s combat manipulation strategy required careful timing of attacks and combat triggers to maximize damage output effectively.

• 3

  Kelsien focused on board control by targeting creatures and using exalted triggers, which permitted selective aggression while maintaining defense.

• 4

  Early land drops and ramp plays were critical, as Lucas’s Uro deck was slowed by initial land issues, delaying its powerful landfall synergies.

• 5

  Players carefully avoided overextension early on, respecting each other's potential to respond with removal or combat tricks, leading to a strategic pacing in the early turns.
