Gameplay Insights

  • 1

    Sacrificing lands to Mox Diamond early is a double-edged sword, enabling fast combos but risking resource depletion if the top deck is unfavorable.

  • 2

    Using Prismatic Bridge to cheat out key combo pieces can create overwhelming tempo and value advantages, especially when combined with spells like Gamble and Brain Freeze to filter and storm.

  • 3

    Dockside Extortionist remains a powerful ramp engine in artifact-heavy metagames, rapidly accelerating mana and treasure production for explosive plays.

  • 4

    Managing graveyard recursion carefully is essential; misplays like attempting to reanimate a legendary card with Unmarked Grave can cost tempo and resources.

  • 5

    Timing Abrupt Decay on stolen or critical permanents can disrupt combos but must be carefully sequenced to avoid counter interactions.

  • 6

    Storm chains utilizing cards like Brain Freeze and Gamble are powerful win conditions but require careful sequencing and mana management to avoid fizzling.

Gameplay Summary

The game started with aggressive and combo-oriented decks jockeying for board presence and resource accumulation.

Pontus led with a strong opening, aiming to leverage Najeela's combo potential alongside artifact synergies, while Kusa set up a swingy Esika and her toolbox of legendary creatures.

Black Coffee piloted a turbo combo graveyard deck with Tevesh Szat and Jeska, focusing on graveyard recursion and infinite loops, while Meria pursued a stormy Urza-based Gruul deck aiming to assemble combos through artifacts and mana acceleration. Early turns saw players developing their boards cautiously but aggressively, with Pontus trying to execute a turn-two combo with Mox Diamond and Worldly Tutor, while Black Coffee struggled through a mulligan but still managed to deploy Dockside Extortionist to ramp and dig.

A key turning point occurred when Black Coffee capitalized on a powerful artifact and graveyard synergy combo, including Mayhem Devil and Magda, to generate explosive treasure tokens and setup a win condition.

Meanwhile, Meria showcased a strong storm build with Birgi, Ragavan, and Thraxian Altar enabling multiple storm triggers. The climax of the game involved a dramatic Prismatic Bridge activation by Kusa, enabling access to critical cards and enabling a Brain Freeze storm combo that threatened to clear opponents’ libraries.

This was coupled with a tight sequence of spells like Gamble and Git Probe to filter the deck and cast a lethal storm chain.

Despite disruption attempts such as Abrupt Decay, the combo decks managed to maintain pressure, with Black Coffee's graveyard recursion and artifact synergies proving particularly resilient.

Ultimately, the game revolved around careful resource management, timing of combo pieces, and leveraging graveyard recursion and storm chains.
