Summary
The game began with each player establishing their board and early strategies, including ramping mana and setting up key pieces. Urtet's player focused on creating and growing Myr tokens that benefit from +1/+1 buffs and untapping synergy to overwhelm opponents. Coram concentrated on filling the graveyard to enhance creature power, while E. Honda aimed to build large creatures and utilize their sheer size to dominate combat. Vihaan generated treasure tokens and transformed them into aggressive artifact creatures, aiming for a swift and impactful assault. Early game highlights included the deployment of Mesmeric Orb, which triggered continuous milling whenever permanents untapped, introducing a disruptive mill element to the game. Another pivotal moment was the casting of Wedding Ring, a card that created a shared artifact between two opponents, causing mutual card draw and life gain, complicating tutors and card advantage plays. Alter of the Brood further intensified the milling strategy by forcing opponents to mill cards whenever new permanents entered under Coram's control. Combat phases saw aggressive swings, particularly from Vihaan's artifact tokens and Urtet's growing Myr army, pushing the board state toward high tension. The game showcased a blend of artifact synergy, graveyard interaction, and milling pressure, with players positioning for lethal attacks while managing disruptive elements on the board.
