Gameplay Summary

The game started with typical ramp and setup plays from all four players, each developing their board with lands and early creatures while keeping an eye on threatening opponents like Williams with Anje Falkenrath and Marco with Elsha of the Infinite.

Early on, a significant board wipe occurred when Eric, playing Ghired, Conclave Exile, used the interaction between Dockside Extortionist and Assaulting Altisaur tokens to clear the board, slowing aggressive advances.

Paul, piloting Kadena, Slinking Sorcerer, utilized morph creatures to apply pressure but was eventually eliminated due to coordinated attacks from Eric and Marco.

Williams leveraged graveyard interactions and card draw engines like Anje's madness ability and Meteor Golem to maintain card advantage and board presence.
