Gameplay Summary
The game featured a variety of strategies, from control and combo to aggressive creature-based decks.
Early in the game, Magda, Brazen Outlaw, piloted by Hidden Planet X, established a strong board presence with an array of creatures and artifacts, backed by a Trinisphere that slowed down opponents' strategies.
Najeela, the Blade-Blossom, piloted by Fernando, also managed to build a solid board with a swarm of warrior tokens.
However, the game reached a turning point when Hidden Planet X managed to generate infinite treasures with Magda using Clock of Omens and Dwarven Grunt, leading to a complex combo that ended the game in his favor.
