Gameplay Insights

• 1

  Mika’s use of land sacrifice with Borborigmos Enraged to repeatedly deal damage and gain card advantage was a strong controlling strategy, though it struggled under constant pressure.

• 2

  The narrator’s tactic of repeatedly copying key mana artifacts like Gilded Lotus with Mirage Mirror allowed flexible ramping and casting of multiple spells in a turn.

• 3

  Maximus’s timing of token generation combined with anthem effects like McKindi Stampede created a powerful wide board that overwhelmed opponents lacking sufficient blockers.

• 4

  Ian’s Zurgo deck showed aggressive potential but was hindered by removal and disruption, limiting his ability to maintain board presence and close the game.

• 5

  The combination of multiple combat steps granted by Full Throttle and Wulfgar’s attack triggers enabled substantial incremental damage across turns.
