Gameplay Insights

  • 1

    Suppression Field severely hindered Akiri's equipment strategy by taxing activated abilities, forcing her to pay extra costs and stalling her early game aggression.

  • 2

    Brago’s use of taxing effects like Grand Arbiter combined with flicker control elements created a disruptive environment that slowed down opponents and prevented explosive plays.

  • 3

    The Ur-Dragon player prioritized ramp and card draw through dragon attacks, aiming to build a critical mass of dragons on the board to overwhelm opponents.

  • 4

    Tuvasa’s enchantment synergy deck focused on steady card draw and board presence while leveraging the monarch mechanic to generate flying tokens and gain incremental advantage.

Summary

The game started with each player establishing their board presence according to their deck strategies. The Ur-Dragon player focused on ramping and setting up a strong dragon tribal presence, aiming to capitalize on massive card draw and board dominance through dragon attacks. Meanwhile, Tuvasa the Sunlit worked on enchantment synergies, drawing cards and controlling the flow of the game with enchantment-based interactions. Akiri, Fearless Voyager attempted to build a voltron-style equipment strategy but was significantly hindered early by suppression effects that taxed activated abilities, slowing down her deck’s momentum.
