Summary
The game started with a slow land development from Phelia, the White-Weenie deck, while Deadpool's midrange strategy applied early pressure through incremental damage and card advantage. Deadpool utilized powerful removal spells such as Fatal Push and Terminate to control Phelia's creatures, particularly focusing on eliminating the key threat, Phelia herself. Despite Phelia's attempts to generate multiple small creatures and tokens, Deadpool's ability to flicker creatures to regain text boxes and steal abilities maintained board control. A pivotal moment came when Deadpool used Parallax Wave to exile Phelia's board temporarily, disrupting her momentum and resetting the board state. Deadpool also leveraged Elite Spellbinder to restrict Phelia’s options, exiling crucial cards from her hand and graveyard. Phelia struggled with consistent land drops, limiting her ability to develop threats and respond effectively. As the game progressed, Deadpool steadily chipped away at Phelia's life total with efficient attacks and repeated use of removal, ensuring the midrange deck's dominance and eventual victory.
