Summary

The game began with players developing their mana bases and setting up early board presence, including artifacts and utility lands. One player utilized a Rustfield Bridge and Crown of Ages to ramp and maintain board control, while another focused on generating Spirit tokens and crewing vehicles like Subterranean Schooner and Cyber Ship. Early disruption was present in the form of Arcane Laboratory, limiting players to one spell per turn, and energy flux to deal with artifacts. A key turning point was the casting of Evacuation to bounce creatures, stalling aggressive attacks and resetting the board temporarily. As the game progressed, synergy among Spirits and Vehicles became apparent, with one player leveraging Battle Mage's Bracers to copy triggered abilities and generate card advantage. Combat exchanges involved multiple attacks with crewed vehicles distributing damage strategically among opponents. The use of recursion spells like Timeless Witness and Chaos Warp helped sustain pressure despite board wipes. Eventually, the board state featured multiple flying threats and a steady flow of card draw, setting the stage for a potential aerial assault to close out the game.
