Summary
The game began with a typical multiplayer setup, each player developing their mana base and establishing early board presence. Martin, playing Ghen, Arcanum Weaver, quickly gained momentum by casting artifact ramp spells and securing the monarch status multiple times, leveraging card draw and control elements. Meanwhile, Nick on Stitcher Geralf focused on graveyard synergies and aggressive zombie token generation, using Geralf’s ability to create and enhance zombies, as well as disruption spells like Rapid Hybridization to manage threats. Max piloted Obeka, Brute Chronologist with a combo-leaning artifact strategy that involved cascading into key mana rocks and recurring spells, while the narrator, on Titania, Protector of Argoth, ramped aggressively with landfall triggers, creating a token army and drawing cards through elemental synergies, aiming to overwhelm opponents with large creatures and repetitive land sacrifice loops.
