    The deck aims to exploit Ally enter the battlefield triggers to create a loop of effects and possibly infinite combos.

  • Magar of the Magic Strings

    Magar of the Magic Strings

    This deck is focused on turning spells into creatures and repeatedly casting them when they connect with a player. This leads to a potential for repeated value from each spell.

  • Rocco, Cabaretti Caterer

    The deck's strategy revolves around tutoring out specific creatures like Tempting Worm to manipulate the game state in a chaotic and unpredictable manner.

Gameplay Insights

  • 1

    The use of Tempting Worm by Rocco's deck created a potentially game-changing moment, allowing all players to deploy multiple permanents onto the battlefield.

  • 2

    MTGNerdGirl's Magar deck's strategy of turning spells into creatures and casting them repeatedly when they connect with a player could lead to a substantial card advantage over time.

Summary

The game started out with each player developing their boards, primarily focusing on ramping their available mana. Veggie Wagon, piloting Rocco, Cabaretti Caterer, made a significant move by tutoring out Tempting Worm. This allowed all players to put any number of non-planeswalker permanents from their hand onto the battlefield for free. However, the full impact of this play is currently unclear. Meanwhile, MTGNerdGirl, using Magar of the Magic Strings, started to establish a strategy of turning spells into creatures to recast them repeatedly. This, in theory, could lead to an overwhelming advantage as the game progresses.
