Summary
The game started with each player setting up their mana base and early board presence. Selenia focused on manipulating life totals, aiming to keep her life low but also to steal opponents' life later. Golos took a superfriends approach, trying to assemble planeswalkers with the help of lands and ramp artifacts. Kethis played a value and recursion strategy, casting his commander early to reduce legendary spell costs and bring back cards from the graveyard. Alela aimed to flood the board with flying faerie tokens, bolstered by artifact and enchantment synergies, creating an evasive and growing army. Early turns featured some disruption, including discards and life payment mechanics, but Alela began producing numerous tokens, threatening to overwhelm opponents. Golos built mana and deployed planeswalkers, though faced pressure from the aggressive token swarm. Kethis steadily developed his board with legendary creatures and value plays, leveraging his commanderโs cost reduction. Selenia attempted to manipulate life totals strategically but was somewhat slowed by early interference. The gameโs momentum shifted around Alelaโs token generation and the interactions with cards that doubled tokens and boosted the armyโs power, making her a critical threat to handle. The players balanced between attacking and holding back as the board states grew complex, focusing on resource management and timing of key plays.
