Summary

The game started with players setting up their mana bases and developing early board presence, including plays like Priest of Titania and Orcish Spellslinger. The Dargo-Thrasios team focused on ramp and card draw, using artifacts and creatures to generate value. Kinnan leveraged mana acceleration and card advantage, while The Gitrog Monster player aimed to capitalize on land interactions and card draw. Early interactions involved targeted removal and disruption, with key plays such as Pyroblast shutting down crucial triggers. The game escalated when infinite mana combos were assembled by Dargo’s player using treasure generation and sacrifice outlets, facilitated by cards like Manglehorn and Newform. This infinite mana allowed the player to draw their entire deck and set up a decisive win. The game ended with Dargo-Thrasios player taking the victory after assembling the combo and resolving a deck draw sequence, despite some resistance and removal attempts from the opponents.

Description

Disclaimer, we did play 2 games and this could have been a double feature, but due to some…“Technical” issues that 2nd game could not be used. Sometimes a quick game is all we need ;)
