Summary

The game began with all four players setting up their boards and preparing their strategies. Early plays included mana development and small creature deployments, with Minsc & Boo's player generating incremental value through pump effects and token creation, while Bernard focused on creating Food and Golem tokens from dying creatures. Kaalia of the Vast quickly established an aggressive aerial presence by cheating powerful angels, demons, and dragons onto the battlefield whenever she attacked. The Wise Mothman utilized his radiation counters mechanic to mill cards and grow his creatures with +1/+1 counters, steadily increasing his board threat while also pressuring opponents through incremental damage and card advantage. As the game progressed, key moments involved Mothman consistently attacking to distribute radiation counters, triggering his mill and growth engine. Kaalia's aggressive flyers forced players to maintain blockers or suffer heavy losses, while Bernard's token generation with food and artifact synergies provided resilience and life gain. Minsc & Boo leveraged his ability to pump creatures and fling his hamster token for damage and card draw, maintaining pressure and board presence. The game dynamic featured a balance between aggressive flying threats, incremental token value, and milling pressure, with each player capitalizing on their deck's unique mechanics to push toward victory.
