Summary

The game started with typical ramp and land plays from all four players, each developing their boards with an early focus on mana acceleration and card draw. Max on Karametra utilized landfall synergies and ramp creatures like Farhaven Elf and Knight of Autumn to steadily grow his board presence. Marty on Raff relied on utility spells such as Mystic Confluence and multiple value creatures while flashing out planeswalkers like Will Kenrith and Tezzeret the Seeker to control the board and generate card advantage. Nick on Oros aggressively deployed creatures and used equipment like Crown of Doom to pressure opponents, while Martin on Ramos focused on casting spells and proliferating counters to fuel Ramos’ ability to grow and dominate the battlefield. A key turning point occurred when Martin cast Ramos and equipped it with Lightning Greaves, enabling aggressive attacks. Max's landfall deck leveraged Evolution Sage and powerful creatures like Genesis and Greenwarden of Murasa to maintain card draw and board presence. Marty’s flash plays and control spells helped mitigate some pressure, including a well-timed board wipe using Route, which reset the board state and removed Oros’s Crown of Doom synergy. After the board wipe, the game shifted toward value and attrition plays, with Marty using Will Kenrith to neutralize threats by turning creatures into 0/3s and drawing cards, while Max continued ramping and drawing via Karametra’s triggers. The gameplay heavily featured interactions around mana ramp, card draw, and controlling board state, with Marty’s planeswalkers and spells providing strong strategic control. The win condition appeared to revolve around building overwhelming board states through Ramos’ counters, Karametra’s landfall triggers, and Oros’s aggressive attacks, with Marty’s control elements aiming to keep the game stable and capitalize on incremental advantages.
