Gameplay Summary

Early plays included mana acceleration with cards like Bloodstained Mire and Nature's Lore, and establishing board presence with creatures such as Mary Jane Watson, which synergizes with spiders entering the battlefield to draw cards.
Joel’s Miles Morales deck focused on plus one counters and spiders, with a key play being the casting of Miles Morales himself, who buffs creatures and synergizes with the deck's tribal theme.
Eli’s Horde of Notions was a big elemental-focused deck, likely aiming to leverage elemental synergies for big threats, while Dom’s Edea, Possessed Sorceress, played a disruptive role, stealing and sacrificing opponents’ permanents to control the game state.
Andy piloted a deck with Ishai, Ojutai Dragonspeaker and Thrasios, Triton Hero, focused on triggering abilities primarily on his own turn, creating constant value and pressure.
