Summary

The game began with all players establishing their mana bases and early board presence, with ramp and value creatures coming into play. Klauth's deck ramped aggressively with lands like Ancient Tomb and sought to overwhelm opponents with Gruul beatdown strategies. Mimeoplasm leveraged graveyard synergies and infect to pressure others, while Brago focused on blink effects to generate incremental value and control the board. Teysa Karlov pursued an aristocrats-style approach, aiming for life gain and sacrifice interactions with creatures like Soul Warden and various ETB triggers. Early skirmishes involved players managing resources carefully, with key removal spells and control elements like Grasp of Fate and Breath Stealer's Crypt shaping the pace. A notable turning point was when Brago used blink triggers to disrupt opponent strategies and generate card advantage. Mimeoplasm attempted to assemble graveyard combos and maintain board control through recursion. Klauth’s deck provided constant pressure with aggressive creatures and combat tricks, while Teysa's life gain and sacrifice synergies gradually built resilience. The game highlighted the tension between explosive combos and value-based midrange plays, with players balancing aggression and defense throughout.
