Summary

The game begins with all four players developing their mana bases and casting early utility creatures and spells, setting the stage for their respective strategies. Nick’s Stitcher Geralf deck focuses on ramp and card advantage through Dreamscape Artist and Artisan of Kozilek, assembling a board presence of large Eldrazi and sacrificing lands for value. Ben's Savra deck utilizes dredging with Life from the Loam and synergizes with sacrifice effects from Savra and Grim Backwoods to maintain board control and incremental advantage. Eric pilots a Boros partner deck featuring Sylvia Brightspear and Korvath Brightflame, leveraging equipment like Sword of the Animist and creatures with combat triggers to apply pressure and clear the board with Balefire Dragon. Misha’s Sevinne deck supports a graveyard recursion and control style, flashing back spells like Source of Pleasure and using creatures such as Solemn Simulacrum to stabilize and extend resources. Key turning points include Eric’s devastating Balefire Dragon board wipe that dramatically shifts the board state by dealing massive damage to all opponents and their creatures. Ben attempts a major play by casting Rise of the Dark Realms to overwhelm the board with reanimated creatures, but this is countered effectively by Nick’s Rewind, stalling Ben’s momentum. The players engage in a tense combat phase where Syliva and Korvath’s aggressive swings threaten opponents, while Savra’s sacrifice triggers force opponents to lose creatures, creating a dynamic battlefield. Nick’s use of Illusionist’s Bracers on Stitcher Geralf allows for doubling powerful enter-the-battlefield effects, culminating in multiple reanimation and combo plays. The game’s win conditions revolve around aggressive board presence, repeated value from graveyard recursion, and large combat damage, with players continually disrupting each other’s strategies through targeted removal and counterspells.
