Summary

The game began with each player developing their board around their tribal themes: Goblins, Humans, Slivers, and Vampires. Krenko, Mob Boss quickly started building a swarm of goblin tokens, leveraging token generators like Cavalcade of Calamity to boost damage output. The Sliver player focused on assembling a synergistic board with key slivers such as Hibernation Sliver and Lava Belly Sliver, aiming to stack incremental damage and utility effects. Meanwhile, the Humans deck aimed to grow creatures with +1/+1 counters and generate value through creatures like Bin Doomssayer and Bounty Agent to control the board by removing problematic permanents. Olivia Voldaren’s Vampire deck concentrated on incremental growth through life gain and blood token generation, with a plan to leverage Olivia’s removal abilities and a Glass Casket Heart to drain opponents’ life totals.
