Gameplay Summary
The game began with each player setting up their mana base and early board presence, with a focus on ramp and setting up their strategy.
The elf deck, piloted by Johnny, quickly established its synergy with plays like Heritage Druid and Path of Ancestry, aiming to grow elves larger rather than simply producing many.
The Slimefoot and Squee deck took a reanimator approach, looking to get powerful creatures like Razaketh or Arden into the graveyard and cheat them back out cheaply.
Ant-Man, Elusive Avenger, focused on boosting a single creature to overcome defenses, playing a hit-and-run style.
Meanwhile, the Indoraptor deck aimed to capitalize on damage dealing, although it was clarified that its menace ability was misunderstood and less formidable than initially thought.
