Summary

The game began with players focusing on ramping mana and establishing early board presence. Eladamri, Korvecdal leveraged his ability to cheat creatures onto the battlefield by revealing them from the top of the library or hand, quickly putting pressure on opponents with powerful Eldrazi threats. Maelstrom Wanderer utilized his double cascade ability to cast multiple high-cost spells in a single turn, aiming to overwhelm opponents with big creatures and spells. Meanwhile, Gisa and Geralf focused on milling their own decks to fill the graveyard and cast zombie creatures from there, steadily building a resilient zombie tribal army. Orvar, the All-Form took a more token-centric and combo approach, generating copies of permanents whenever instant or sorcery spells targeted them, aiming to flood the board with copies and tokens to dominate the game. Early skirmishes revolved around board development and tempo plays, with players cautious but preparing for the inevitable clashes. The key turning point was when Eladamri managed to cheat in large Eldrazi creatures rapidly, forcing opponents to respond or lose significant life. Gisa and Geralf's graveyard recursion kept the board filled with threats, while Orvar's token generation posed a growing menace that required immediate answers. Maelstrom Wanderer's cascading spells allowed for unpredictable swings, often swinging momentum in his favor. The game was characterized by a dynamic interplay between graveyard recursion, token production, and cascade-fueled big plays. The eventual win condition centered on overwhelming opponents with either Eldrazi brute force, a massive zombie horde, or a tidal wave of tokens and copies generated by Orvar's abilities.
