Summary

The game began with players developing their mana bases and setting up early board presence. Círdan the Shipwright focused on generating value through artifact synergies and ramping mana with Soul Ring and Mana Vault, equipping a Sword of Feast and Famine to an Ornithopter to create a flying threat with protection. Zevlor, Elturel Exile aimed to leverage copying spells that target permanents or players, threatening to disrupt everyone simultaneously. Cait, Cage Brawler brought an aggressive, combat-focused strategy with incremental card draw and damage growth through combat. Kynaios and Tiro of Meletis played a group hug style, drawing cards and encouraging everyone to play safely while avoiding damage. As the game unfolded, Círdan's early ramp and equipment setup posed a significant threat, but the interaction of Zevlor's spell copying and Cait's aggressive damage kept tension high. The group hug commander attempted to maintain balance by distributing card draw and discouraging attacks, but the escalating aggression and combos threatened to tip the scale towards a fast-paced, damage-dealing finish. Key moments included Círdan setting up a formidable equipped flyer, Zevlor preparing to double up on disruptive spells, and the group dynamic shifting as players tried to manage threats while advancing their own board state.
