Gameplay Summary

The game featured a matchup between a midrange Terra deck and a mono-black Sidisi deck, each leveraging their unique strategies.

Early on, the Sidisi player established control with efficient removal spells like Lightning Bolt to handle key threats such as Terra herself.

The Sidisi deck also utilized graveyard hate and disruption, including Thoughtseize and Cling to Dust, to limit Terra's recursive and card advantage capabilities.
