Gameplay Summary
The game started with aggressive mana development from all players, featuring early plays like Ancient Tomb and Arcane Signet to accelerate into their respective strategies.
Rocco, Cabaretti Caterer's deck focused on tutor-based consistency to assemble a Food Chain combo, while Tymna the Weaver and Dargo, the Shipwrecker pushed a sacrifice-fueled aggressive plan with explosive finishers.
Rograkh, Son of Rohgahh appeared in two builds: one paired with Silas Renn focusing on artifact recursion and fast combo lines, and another paired with Tevesh Szat, Doom of Fools, aiming to generate massive card advantage and resource accumulation through turbo draw engines.
Early interaction included targeted tempo plays such as Shackles and Hope of Ghirapur to disrupt non-creature spells and slow down opponents' combos. A critical turning point was when Rograkh-Tevesh utilized multiple iterations of Rograkh to repeatedly draw cards and generate board presence, paving the way for explosive turns with Fire of Industry and Divergent Transformation, which hinted at a combo finish involving minimal creatures to close the game.
Meanwhile, Tymna-Dargo maintained pressure through combat and card draw, leveraging Curse of Opulence to gain incremental advantage.
Despite multiple players holding back interaction for key threats like Voice of Victory, the game’s pace was defined by constant resource denial, disruption, and combo assembly attempts.
The game tempo was mostly dictated by the fast mana and interaction-heavy decks, with Rograkh-Tevesh’s turbo card advantage line emerging as a notable threat heading into the midgame.
