Gameplay Summary
The game featured four distinct tribal decks, each built around creature types from the Lurrus Eclipsed set but with unconventional strategies.
The Goblin Mill deck aimed to disrupt opponents by milling cards while generating value through sacrifice and treasure tokens.
The Mono-White Elves deck focused on rapid creature deployment with minimal synergy, relying on swarming the board with elves.
The Kithkin Burn deck adopted a burn-oriented game plan, leveraging the Kithkin tribe's aggressive potential and card filtering to maintain pressure.
The Power Matters Treefolk deck utilized Doran, Besieged by Time, but instead of caring about toughness, it emphasized power-based buffs and combat tricks to enhance its treefolk.
