Gameplay Summary

The game began with players establishing their mana bases and early board presence, with some focusing on drawing cards and ramping mana.

The cat-themed deck capitalized on synergy with cards like Kindred Discovery, drawing cards whenever cats entered or attacked.

Early combat damage from evasive creatures generated card advantage and helped maintain board development.

One player deployed a control element with Cover of Darkness to intimidate opponents by granting fear to specific creature types.

As the game progressed, there was a notable board interaction involving Confusion in the Ranks, which forced players to exchange control of permanents, creating chaotic and unpredictable shifts in board state.

The group hug deck focused on supporting opponents with counters, treasures, and card draws to foster a fun atmosphere while also setting up alternate win conditions via enchantments like Happily Ever After.

Despite the lighthearted group dynamic, players leveraged their decks' strengths, including flying creatures, card draw engines, and tactical combat decisions, to apply pressure and maintain tempo.

The game featured strategic exchanges and incremental advantages rather than a swift combo finish, with players balancing aggression and utility to position themselves for potential alternate victory paths.
