Summary

The game opened with players setting up their mana bases and early board presence, with Busterkins focusing on Tom Bombadil's Saga tribal strategy, gaining value from repeatedly casting and triggering Sagas. Kovacs leveraged Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm's ability to copy dragons, quickly escalating his board presence with multiple dragon tokens. Chris, piloting Jodah, the Unifier, aimed to cascade into powerful legendary spells, ramping with ramp spells like Soul Ring and generating value through cascading. Meanwhile, the user piloted Sidar Jabari, an Esper Knight tribal deck that reanimates knights and benefits from sacrificing creatures, applying pressure through aggressive combat and recursion. Key turns included Busterkins gaining control of the user's Haycon Hayman through Crowning War, significantly disrupting the user's board and card advantage. Kovacs' Miirym creating multiple scaled nurturer tokens enabled him to cast massive dragons like Ancient Copper Dragon, which he copied for extra value. Chris' Jodah cascaded into several impactful legendary spells, maintaining tempo and board presence. The user attempted to maintain board control with fast hasty knights and equipment like Swiftfoot Boots, but was hindered by removal such as Anguished Unmaking on Sidar Jabari. The game featured dynamic combat influenced by forced attacks from Crowning War, multiple triggers from enchantresses, and recursion from Sidar Jabari's ability, setting up a complex battlefield state with multiple threats and synergies in play.
