Gameplay Summary
The game began with an aggressive setup from the Frodo and Sam food token deck, which quickly established a steady supply of food tokens to fuel life gain and card draw, particularly leveraging Frodo's ring to generate incremental advantage.
Meanwhile, the Ob Nixilis deck aimed to incrementally build power counters through one-damage spells and an infinite combo with All Is One, seeking to leverage card advantage and damage output.
Minsc & Boo focused on creating and buffing a legendary hamster token to amass a large damage threat that could end the game with a big sacrifice, while Brimaz utilized artifact and creature synergy with incubators and proliferate effects to establish board presence and incremental growth.
Early turns featured fast mana plays and key tutors, with players jockeying for board control as they developed their strategies.
