Gameplay Summary

The game unfolded with four players piloting distinct decks: Meren of Clan Nel Toth focusing on graveyard recursion, Nekusar, the Mindrazer applying incremental damage through wheel effects, Florian, Voldaren Scion leveraging a dragon-themed approach with Obosh, the Preypiercer for damage doubling, and Hidetsugu, Devouring Chaos bringing aggressive burn strategies.

Early turns saw Nekusar and Meren establishing board presence and incremental damage engines, while Florian aimed to build a combo with Obosh and Dragon's Approach to deal massive damage.

Hidetsugu contributed burn and chaos effects that pressured opponents and synergized with the damage doubling effects of Obosh.

A key turning point was Florian successfully activating Obosh's damage doubling after casting Dragon's Approach, dealing significant damage to multiple opponents simultaneously.

Meanwhile, Meren used graveyard recursion and experience counters to maintain board resilience and grind value, while Nekusar kept up the pressure with consistent wheel effects and damage from Underworld Dreams.

Hidetsugu’s aggressive plays and direct damage helped to destabilize opponents, forcing them to respond quickly.

The game tilted toward a damage race fueled by Florian’s combo and Hidetsugu’s burn, with Meren and Nekusar relying on attrition and incremental advantage.

Ultimately, the damage amplification from Obosh combined with Dragon's Approach proved to be the decisive factor in rapidly reducing opponents' life totals, demonstrating a lethal synergy between these cards.
