Gameplay Summary
The game started with players setting up their mana bases and early ramp, with key plays such as Ghost Quarter and Wasteland disrupting opponents' lands.
Kinnan focused on ramping mana and tutoring for combo pieces, while K'rrik emphasized mono-black devotion and quick mana generation with Dark Rituals and Wishclaw Talisman.
Lumra developed a strong board presence with creature lands and value creatures, aided by utility lands and recurring effects.
Kefka operated a chaos/control strategy, leveraging disruptive spells and interaction to manage the board. As the game progressed, Lumra's aggressive creature land strategy and the ability to generate multiple activations per turn began to dominate the board state.
Other players struggled to find timely interaction to stem Lumra's momentum, with key cards like Endurance being sought to stabilize but not fully effective.
Kinnan was seen tutoring for infinite mana but held back from immediate win attempts, while K'rrik tried to find disruption through Wishclaw.
The tension culminated in Lumra applying overwhelming pressure, effectively locking down opponents with repeated land destruction and creature activation, leading to a commanding position that was difficult to overcome.
