Summary
The game commenced with a typical ramp and setup phase from all players, with Eriette of the Charmed Apple establishing a defensive aura-based lock while slowly draining opponents with life loss tied to her auras. Veyran, Voice of Duality was poised to double spell triggers, aiming to leverage powerful instants and sorceries such as Expropriate for massive value. Ziatora, the Incinerator focused on assembling large creatures to sacrifice for damage and value, while Korvold, Fae-Cursed King sought to generate infinite treasure and creature tokens via combo pieces like Dockside Extortionist, Eternal Witness, and Twinflame. Early turns featured key mana accelerations, utility creatures, and attempts to disrupt opponents' ramp, notably with aura control and artifact removal to slow down Ziatora’s mana base. As the game progressed, Eriette's board control and life drain began pressuring the table, while Veyran prepared to unleash copied spells for significant advantage. Korvold started accumulating sacrifice fodder and card draw from his recursive sacrifice triggers, inching toward infinite combos. The gameplay dynamic centered on managing threats, with Eriette’s shroud-granting enchantments protecting key creatures, and the group navigating around each other's combos and win conditions. The tension rose as players looked to capitalize on their unique synergies — Veyran doubling spell effects, Korvold's treasure and sacrifice loop, and Ziatora's damage multipliers — all while trying to dismantle the aura lock and tempo control imposed by Eriette. The video ends as players position themselves for their combos and prepare for pivotal interactions.
