Gameplay Summary

The game began with all players leveraging the special rules of MOX Lantern and the Fire cell cost reduction, creating a fast-paced and mana-efficient environment.

Early turns involved setting up ramp and board presence, with players casting key utility creatures and enchantments.

Toxrill, the Corrosive aimed to build a slug-based army with graveyard recursion, while Go-Shintai of Life's Origin focused on generating shrine creature tokens through enchantments.

Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm sought to deploy powerful dragons quickly, taking advantage of the cost reduction.

Gandalf the Grey played a control-oriented deck with bounce effects and disruption. A pivotal moment came when destructive enchantments such as Citadel of Pain and Destructive Flow were played, pressuring opponents by damaging them and forcing sacrifices of non-basic lands.

The interaction between shrine token generation and enchantment recursion proved effective but vulnerable to board wipes and land destruction.

Toxrill’s slug tokens and graveyard synergies presented a growing threat, while Miirym’s dragons promised a late-game power spike.

Combat damage swings and the struggle for the Monarch role added layers of political tension and control.

The game’s tempo shifted as players balanced board development with tactical removal and mana management, setting the stage for a climactic conflict around Toxrill’s slug army and Go-Shintai’s shrine tokens.
