Summary

The game started with all players ramping and setting up their boards. Blackneto on Anikthea, Hand of Erebos, focused on enchantments and token generation, creating early squirrel tokens to establish board presence. Z Main Character playing Eriette of the Charmed Apple also emphasized enchantment synergies and ramp, while Bobbi Christine's Cadira, Caller of the Small deck aimed to flood the board with 1/1 rabbit tokens. Katie Karlov piloted The Ur-Dragon, a five-color dragon tribal deck, ramping hard and preparing to deploy powerful dragons. Early turns featured soft skirmishes, with players trading small amounts of damage while developing their boards. A key early moment was when Bobbi Christine's token army began to grow, threatening to overwhelm opponents if not dealt with. Meanwhile, Katie Karlov deployed Polluted Bonds to hinder opponents' land drops, gaining incremental advantage and life. The enchantment-heavy strategies from Blackneto and Z Main Character created political tension but also mutual benefit through life gain and card draw triggers. The game was poised for a shift as players jockeyed for board control and prepared to leverage their synergies—dragons, enchantments, or tokens—toward a decisive victory.
