Summary

The game began with all four players deploying their unique homebrew decks, each bringing a distinctive strategy to the table. Amy the Amazonian, piloting Xanathar, Guild Kingpin, focused on theft and card advantage by stealing opponents' resources and reanimating them. Big Jim, with Kenrith, the Returned King, aimed to venture through dungeons to generate card advantage and cast big threats for free. MTG Nerd Girl’s Saskia the Unyielding deck sought to dominate combat phases with powerful creatures and multiple combat steps, while Veggiewagonyee on Yusri, Fortune's Flame, relied on coin flips and manipulating luck to deliver devastating turns. Early turns saw ramp spells and utility creatures setting up each player’s game plan, with notable plays including Xanathar’s use of Hostage Shaker and Thief of Sanity to disrupt opponents and gain value from stolen cards, and Kenrith’s Dungeon Delver enabling dungeon progression and card filtering.
