Gameplay Summary

The game featured a mono-colored battle between four distinct strategies led by Titania, Neheb, Gonti, and Daretti.

Early turns saw players ramping mana aggressively, with Neheb quickly assembling a high mana base and Daretti setting up artifact synergies and aggressive creatures like Steel Hellkite.

Titania focused on land ramp and elemental token generation, while Gonti leveraged a suite of black removal and card advantage spells.

A key moment was when Tim (Neheb) utilized artifact synergies and +1/+1 counters on creatures like Arcbound Crusher and Kasmir Battle Sphere to build a threatening board state alongside Daretti’s creatures.

Meanwhile, Kevin (Gonti) used his removal spells and graveyard recursion to maintain board presence and pressure.

Scott (Titania) attempted a powerful combo involving Heartless Hidetsugu and Furnace of Wrath aimed at wiping the table, but it backfired due to rounding effects, leaving all players at low life.
