Gameplay Insights

• 1

  The early removal of Bruvac by Bone Splinters was a crucial disruption to Tyler's milling strategy, shifting the game's momentum.

Summary

The game began with players establishing their mana bases and deploying early creatures and support cards. Tyler, playing Bruvac the Grandiloquent, focused on assembling a persistent practitioners combo to mill opponents, leveraging multiple copies of Persistent Practitioners and synergistic artifacts like Grand Architect and Thran Temporal Scepter. Tommy, piloting Ojer Axonil, had a slower start but eventually dropped key creatures like Firebrand Archer and Shandra, Fire of Kaladesh, providing steady damage and board presence. The player with Muldrotha, the Gravetide, utilized self-mill and graveyard recursion strategies, playing ramp and tutors to assemble a powerful board state. A pivotal moment came when Muldrotha's pilot used Bone Splinters to sacrifice a creature and unexpectedly take out Bruvac, disrupting Tyler’s milling engine early in the game. Later, despite graveyard hate from Bruvac's player via Tormenting Voice and Tormenting Crypt, Muldrotha's pilot continued self-milling and assembling combos, culminating in casting Thassa's Oracle after a Demonic Consultation, securing the win by decking themselves out.
