Gameplay Summary
The game started with players developing their boards cautiously, with early mana ramp from creatures like Elvish Mystic and Dryad Arbor and key lands such as Command Tower and Arena of Glory.
Jackal quickly established an aggressive board presence using creatures with menace and treasure token generation, leveraging this to ramp into powerful plays like Jonah Jameson and Aggravated Assault.
Jonah Jameson proved to be a significant threat, generating treasures on combat damage which accelerated his mana curve and board development.
Meanwhile, Peter Parker focused on establishing a defensive board with creatures like Pippen Guard of the Citadel and later cast Amazing Spider-Man, which synergizes with casting multicolored legendary spells to gain web slinging abilities. Miles Morales utilized haste enablers such as Anger paired with treasure generation to maintain pressure and speed.
Combat was a key phase where each player targeted opponents to maximize damage output and treasure creation, fueling further spells and synergies.
Notable interactions included the use of Jessica's Will to ramp mana and the activation of Aggravated Assault to create an extra combat phase, dramatically increasing attack opportunities.
The game featured a dynamic interplay of creature combat, treasure token economy, and protective spells like Giver of Runes to maintain board presence.
