Summary

The game opened with each player establishing their mana bases and early board presence. Urza, Chief Artificer focused on producing and leveraging artifact creatures while creating powerful constructs each turn. Esika, God of the Tree // The Prismatic Bridge aggressively accelerated card advantage by exiling cards from the deck and putting creatures and planeswalkers directly onto the battlefield, quickly ramping the board state. Mishra, Eminent One generated token copies of artifact noncreatures to swarm and maintain pressure, while Raggadragga, Goreguts Boss buffed creatures with menace and trample to push through damage and utilized high-cost spells for additional triggers and board impact. A major turning point occurred when a catastrophic board wipe destroyed lands, significantly slowing the game and forcing players to rebuild their mana bases and recalibrate their strategies. Despite this setback, Urza and Esika managed to recover steadily, with Urza continuing to produce constructs and Esika exploiting The Prismatic Bridge to keep flooding the battlefield with threats. Mishra maintained artifact token production but struggled post-wipe, while Raggadragga relied on buffs and combat damage to chip away at opponents. The game featured multiple combat phases and strategic use of planeswalkers, with Esika’s ability to replay legendary threats from the graveyard proving especially impactful. Ultimately, the game revolved around artifact synergy, ramp, and controlling the board state through timely removals and threats.
