Summary

The game began with each player introducing their creature type-themed decks, including bears, humans, demons, snakes, and turtles. Early plays involved ramping mana and setting up board presence with cards like Sol Ring, Creeping Tar Pit, and Path of Ancestry. The bear deck leveraged creatures without abilities for buffs and unblockable damage with Rooka, the Patient Professor, while the demon deck focused on aggressive creatures and forcing attacks using Cdoer the Doomscourge. The human deck utilized Queen Marchesa to establish monarchy, generate Assassin tokens, and control board state with haste and dethrone mechanics. The snake deck emphasized spell interactions and card draw with creatures like Orphan Viper and Mold Ater, enabling a synergistic swarm strategy using the commander to untap forests and creatures for more mana. As the game progressed, alliances formed subtly, notably between humans and bears, while demons maintained pressure through forced combat and life drain.
