Summary

The game began with all four players setting up their boards and developing their mana bases, with the usual land drops and early plays. Blackneto piloted Chatterfang, aiming for fast combo wins with multiple infinite combos. Sean Marquette played Memnarch, focusing on artifact synergies and controlling the board with artifact and enchantment interactions. Ellie ran Zacama, Primal Calamity, leveraging big creatures and ramp to dominate the midgame. Gabriel Luna took Sisay, Weatherlight Captain, a deck built with versatile answers and value creatures, aiming to control the game and respond to threats efficiently. Early turns saw players developing their strategies, with Blackneto aggressively pushing combos involving cards like Earthcraft and other green synergies. Memnarch deployed key artifacts like Urza’s Saga and Earthcraft to enable combo potential and board control. Zacama’s ramp and large creatures pressured opponents, while Sisay provided answers to disruptions and maintained a reactive stance. A notable moment was Blackneto activating combos that could generate large amounts of mana and tokens, creating tension and forcing players to respond quickly. The game featured multiple interactions around artifact and enchantment removal as players tried to manage the growing board states. The dynamic between quick combo attempts and reactive control defined the game’s tension, with players jockeying for board dominance and trying to disrupt the combos before a decisive victory could be secured.
