Gameplay Summary
The game began with a strong early tempo play by the Magda, Brazen Outlaw player, who quickly generated treasures and cast Magda on turn one.
This allowed for aggressive treasure generation and early board presence.
Lumra, Bellow of the Woods established a defensive position with Root Maze and Silver Safekeeper, attempting to slow down opponents' plays.
Selvala, Heart of the Wilds played a more midrange game, developing mana sources and creatures while keeping options open.
Glarb, Calamity's Augur started slower but focused on artifact and treasure synergy. The key turning point came when the Magda player leveraged infinite treasure generation using combos with Three-Tree Mascot, Smuggler's Copter, Amulet of Vigor, and Clock of Omens.
This infinite mana allowed them to search up powerful cards like Maskwood Nexus and Barkfor Harvester, locking down the board and dealing incremental damage to opponents with spells like Twinot Sniper.
This overwhelming mana advantage led to a swift conclusion as the other players struggled to respond to the explosive treasure-based combo and board control established by Magda.
