Summary

The game begins with each player developing their board state through ramp and artifact/enchantment synergies. Akiri's player focuses on equipping Stoneforge Mystic with powerful equipment like Sword of the Animist and Umezawa's Jitte, gaining incremental advantage through equipment triggers and treasure generation via Dockside Extortionist. Wrexial's deck plays a mill and control role, using cards like Nemesis of Reason to mill opponents and Cyclonic Rift for tempo. Obuun's deck leverages landfall and token generation with Nissa, Worldwaker and Morari's Wake, animating lands and growing his board rapidly. Mistform Ultimus provides a flexible creature presence, helping to block or push damage through rogue’s passage and other artifact synergies. Key turning points include Chris (Akiri) generating a large number of treasures through Dockside Extortionist and myriad triggers, which he sacrifices to cast powerful spells like Fury Storm and Swords to Plowshares, clearing the board and exiling key creatures such as Obuun and animated lands that had grown large. Meanwhile, Obuun’s player capitalizes on landfall triggers and Morari's Wake to pump his army and gain life, threatening lethal swings with animated lands and tokens. Wrexial’s player mills heavily but struggles to stabilize against the aggressive artifact and landfall synergy decks. The game features critical combat phases where forced attacks from Pursuit of Pirates tokens dictate blocking and damage assignment, and timely removal spells shift the board state drastically. The match is a dynamic interplay of equipment-based aggression, landfall token growth, and control elements, with players jockeying for board presence and resource control.
