Summary

The game began with each player establishing their board presence according to their deck strategies. Blackneto, piloting a cascade-heavy Eldrazi deck, focused on ramping and leveraging artifact synergies, while Anna Margaret aimed to flood the board with Angels using her mono-white deck. Tori of the Vast built a swarm of rats using her rat tribal commander, creating a steady stream of tokens and applying pressure. Lua Stardust played a Rowan, Scion of War deck centered on dealing damage through spells and creatures, looking to capitalize on direct damage and aggressive plays. Early turns featured typical ramp and creature drops, with Anna Margaret assembling a potent angelic board. Blackneto used artifacts like Unwinding Clock to enable additional untaps and mana generation. Tori generated rat tokens and used abilities to give them deathtouch, making combat risky for opponents. Lua managed to draw cards and maintain pressure with spells and aggressive swings. Key moments included Blackneto's use of cascade and artifact interactions to develop board advantage, Anna Margaret's deployment of powerful angels like Thraen Watcher and Enduring Angel with protective abilities, and Tori's rat army growing stronger with death triggers and buffs from Judith, Scourge Diva.
