Gameplay Summary

The game begins with players developing their mana bases and early ramp spells, setting the stage for their respective strategies.

One player focuses on casting Journey to the Lost City, an enchantment that exiles cards and potentially creates wolf tokens or ramps lands based on a d20 roll, leveraging incremental advantage through wolf tokens.

Another player quickly sets up key mana rocks like Chromatic Lantern and Soul Ring to accelerate their plays.

Meanwhile, the Gisa and Geralf player aims to mill cards and recast zombies from the graveyard, creating a resilient undead army.

Abaddon the Despoiler’s pilot prepares to cascade into big demons, using life lost by opponents to trigger cascades and overwhelm the board with powerful creatures.

The Wise Mothman deck introduces a unique counters mechanic, focusing on spreading radiation counters to control the board, though early turns are spent ramping and setting up for midgame plays. A pivotal moment comes when the Journey to the Lost City player successfully rolls an 11, generating multiple wolf tokens with +1/+1 counters, pushing a strong early board presence.

The players interact cautiously with threats like Unstable Obelisk, which can destroy permanents, adding a layer of strategic tension around the enchantment's powerful triggers.

Despite some counterspell interactions, the game flows into a developing midgame where each deck aims to capitalize on their synergies: Faldorn’s wolves, Gisa and Geralf’s zombie recursion, Abaddon’s cascade demon threats, and the Wise Mothman’s innovative counter-based control.

The game’s win conditions revolve around overwhelming opponents with incremental value creatures, lethal cascades, or controlling the board through unique mechanics tied to their respective commanders and deck builds.
