Summary

The game began with all four players developing their boards and setting up their strategies. Deadpool's pilot focused on using Worldgorger Dragon combos to create infinite Deadpool tokens, leveraging Forbidden Orchard to distribute one-one spirits to opponents and utilizing copy effects with Heat Shimmer to generate a complex web of Deadpool ETBs. This created a constant threat on the board, with Deadpool's unique layering text interactions confusing the table. Meanwhile, Tymna/Malcolm employed a midrange approach, using card draw and treasure generation to maintain board presence and keep up with opponents' threats. Xyris leveraged card draw triggers and token generation, aiming to use Gaea's Cradle for explosive mana production and win through overwhelming board advantage. Sisay pursued the classic infinite mana and combo route, searching for key pieces to close the game quickly.
