Gameplay Summary
The game started with all four players ramping and developing their boards, each pursuing their unique strategies.
Early plays included ramp spells, mana rocks, and value creatures like Kodama of the East Tree and Hullbreacher.
Lutz (Kodama/Sakashima) leveraged the powerful interaction between Kodama and Sakashima to generate infinite Kodama triggers, enabling him to flood the board with lands and tokens, including Field of the Dead zombies, setting up a dominant board presence.
Meanwhile, Jimmy (Tasigur) focused on graveyard value and drew into combo pieces, eventually assembling a fast combo involving Demonic Consultation and Thassa's Oracle to attempt a win.
Hidden (Rielle) utilized card draw and discard synergy to dig for his combo, while Porce (Najeela) aimed to build a warrior army or infinite combat steps for a decisive strike but was countered early on and fell behind.
