Gameplay Insights

  • 1

    Lavinia’s timely Winter Orb and Mind Sensor established a powerful stax lock early, severely slowing down opponents’ ability to play spells and setting the tone for controlling the game.

  • 2

    Oloro’s use of Necropotence to pay life for card advantage allowed rapid assembly of combo pieces, but the life loss had to be carefully managed against pressure from other players.

  • 3

    Sisay’s deployment of Oko and activation of his ability to turn Winter Orb into a creature showed clever exploitation of opponents’ stax pieces for offensive value.

  • 4

    Selvala’s aggressive ramp and early casting of Mana Crypt and Hushbringer helped smooth out his curve and disrupt opponents, setting up for his infinite mana mill combo.

  • 5

    The interaction of Lavinia’s ability with other players’ spells created a strong political dynamic, forcing opponents to adapt their plays around her lockdown effects.

Summary

The game started with all players setting up their mana bases and early board presence. Oloro aimed to leverage life gain and card advantage through Necropotence and other life-based synergies while assembling combos involving Sanguine Bond and Exquisite Blood. Sisay focused on a superfriends strategy, deploying powerful planeswalkers like Oko, Thief of Crowns, to control the board and pump up Sisay by fetching legendary permanents. Lavinia's deck sought to lock down opponents by deploying Winter Orb and Mind Sensor to hamper their ability to play spells while using Lavinia herself to prevent noncreature spells. Selvala ramped aggressively and aimed to generate infinite mana combos with creatures like Wirewood Symbiote and cards such as Isochron Scepter and The Great Creator to mill the table out via Selvala's ability.
