Gameplay Insights

    Kinnan's explosive mana ramp enabled casting large threats like Ninti, which was the key turning point that sealed the game.

  • 2

    Urza's use of artifact copying and mana rocks attempted to keep pace, but was ultimately outpaced by Kinnan's mana generation.

  • 3

    Yuriko's early pressure with evasive creatures and token generation was disrupted by targeted removal and exile effects, limiting her impact.

  • 4

    Sisay's ramp and legendary synergies provided steady development but could not match the rapid acceleration of Kinnan's deck.

Summary

The game featured intense early development from all four players, with Sisay ramping into mana with Utopia Sprawl and Savannah, Urza setting up artifact synergies including Lotus Petal and Chrome Mox, Kinnan building a powerful mana base with Cradle and multiple mana dorks, and Yuriko establishing a stealthy ninja threat with Underground Sea and Thousand-Faced Shadow. Early plays included key ramp and interaction such as Bloodchief Ascension activation and artifact copying with Imi G to enhance mana production. Strategic removal and disruption were present, including the exile of Yuriko's Spirit token and the use of Braids to control the board. The game pace escalated as Kinnan leveraged his mana to deploy powerful creatures like Gilded Drake and used Arcane Signet and other mana accelerants to advance his board state. In the late game, Kinnan executed a decisive turn by casting Ninti with a large mana advantage, securing the win. The other players put up significant resistance, but Kinnan's explosive mana generation and threat deployment proved overwhelming in the end.
