Gameplay Summary

The game starts with the implementation of two new house rules, chaotic overgrowth and descent into chaos, which introduce slow ramp effects and an upkeep-based card draw and life loss mechanic, respectively.

Early turns see players establishing their mana bases and deploying key pieces.

Rith, the Awakener generates fungus tokens and aims for an overrun-style board presence, while Tasigur and Emry focus on graveyard and artifact synergies.

Obeka, Splitter of Seconds brings a unique twist with multiple upkeep phases triggered by combat damage, increasing the intensity of upkeep interactions. A significant turning point occurs when a windfall effect forces all players to discard their hands and redraw, shaking up the game state and disrupting plans.

Obeka's multiple upkeeps start to create pressure, but players respond by developing their boards and leveraging artifact ramp and synergy cards.

Rith slowly builds a token army, setting the stage for a potential combat finish, while the graveyard-centric decks seek to capitalize on recursion and artifact interactions.

Throughout the match, key equipment like Prowler's Helm boosts Obeka's attack capabilities, further escalating the upkeep triggers and game complexity.
