Summary

The game started with four distinct decks facing off: a Lich tribal deck focused on life manipulation and permanence protection, a mono-red token aggro deck leveraging Homura's anthem effect, a Grixis steal-and-control deck utilizing the partner commanders Ludevic and Tevesh, and a Nissa tribal deck with additional splash colors aiming for synergy with Nissa cards. Early plays included ramp spells like Expedition Map and Cultivate to establish mana bases. The Lich deck aimed to survive by leveraging life gain and exile effects to avoid losing permanents, while the red token deck sought to build a wide board and pump creatures with Homura's enchantment form. The Grixis deck focused on disruption and stealing key permanents, creating tempo swings by using opponents' resources. Nissa tribal looked to build synergy with planeswalkers and other Nissa-related cards, including a surprising anti-Nissa planeswalker card to disrupt opposing strategies. As the game progressed, players jockeyed for board control with the Grixis deck targeting key threats early to gain advantage, while the Lich deck tried to maintain a stable board state through its unique life and exile mechanics. The red token deck aggressively pushed wide creature strategies, taking advantage of the anthem effect to pressure opponents quickly. Meanwhile, the Nissa tribal deck deployed thematic creatures and planeswalkers to build incremental value and control the board. Key turning points involved targeted removal and stealing effects from the Grixis deck, which threatened to dismantle opponents' setups. The token deck's ability to recover quickly from setbacks through Homura's flip enchantment proved crucial in maintaining offensive pressure. Ultimately, the game revolved around managing life totals and board presence, with players balancing aggression and defense within their thematic strategies.
