Summary

The game began with each player developing their board state through ramp, token generation, and incremental value plays. Jetmir, Nexus of Revels focused on creating multiple one-one warrior tokens and leveraging them to push aggressive damage early on. Ziatora, the Incinerator capitalized on sacrifice synergies, generating treasures and additional tokens while dealing incremental damage with Mayhem Devil punishing opponents for sacrificing permanents. Falco Spara, Pactweaver aimed to accumulate value via +1/+1 counters and card advantage, while Toluz, Clever Conductor pursued a strategy centered on decking themselves quickly to unlock powerful endgame effects. Key turning points included the board wipes and targeted removal that disrupted token armies and sacrifice engines, notably with Assassin's Trophy and Beast Within dealing with problematic permanents. The interactions between sacrifice outlets and Mayhem Devil proved pivotal, dealing consistent damage and controlling the board. Jetmir's token swarm was repeatedly challenged but remained a threat, while Ziatora's treasure production fueled multiple plays. The game featured tense combat phases with careful blocking and damage assignments, as well as strategic use of convoke and mana acceleration. Ultimately, the game was decided through attrition and exploiting the synergy between token creation and sacrifice damage triggers.
