Gameplay Summary
The game began with all four players establishing their early board presence and setting up key resources.
Falco Spara's pilot used Sensei's Divining Top and ramp spells to manipulate the top of the library and dig for combo pieces, while also deploying disruptive creatures like Drannith Magistrate.
Tymna and Thrasios' deck focused on value and tempo with a suite of elves and interaction, including Gilded Drake to steal key creatures from opponents.
Mizzix leveraged her cost reduction ability to prepare for a storm-based win, holding powerful spells such as Wheel of Fortune and Brainstorm.
Damia's player prioritized card advantage and control, with Mystic Remora and Recycle fueling a steady stream of cards, aiming to assemble storm or doomsday lines. The game saw a tense interplay of card advantage engines, with multiple Sensei's Divining Tops and Mystic Remoras on the battlefield generating continuous draw triggers.
Key interactions included the repeated use of phasing creatures, phases out of threats to dodge removal or combat, and counterplay with Silence spells exchanged to neutralize disruptive enchantments.
Gilded Drake swapping critical creatures created shifting board states, and Mizzix’s player casting her commander early hinted at a coming storm turn.
The game revolved around resource denial, card filtering, and protecting combo setups, with each player balancing aggression and defense as they jockeyed for control of the board and the top of their libraries.
