Summary

The game started with each player developing their mana base and early board presence, setting the stage for midgame interactions. Obeka, Splitter of Seconds focused on passive damage and upkeep triggers, while Lathril, Blade of the Elves aimed to build an elf token army and apply constant pressure. Obyra, Dreaming Duelist deployed blink and fairy tribal synergies, and Clavileño, First of the Blessed worked with landfall and aggressive demon creatures. Early turns featured strategic plays like the Eye Collector's flying and mill effect, as well as equipment like Swiftfoot Boots and Lava Spiker that enhanced combat potential. Combat damage triggered graveyard interactions and forced tough decisions on blocking and damage absorption. Midgame saw key plays such as the resurrection of Bloodgas from the graveyard with landfall triggers, which maintained board presence despite removal or combat damage. MoonGirlMagic's demon creatures provided flying threats and card draw, while Lathril's elves steadily grew in number and strength. Players carefully managed resources and timing, with some choosing to take damage rather than lose key creatures. The interplay between passive graveyard recursion, aggressive flying creatures, and token generation shaped the evolving board state.
