Gameplay Summary

The game began with players establishing their mana bases and early board presence, with Krenko focusing on generating goblin tokens rapidly and Etali ramping into powerful threats like Inferno Titan.

Early turns saw tension build around Magus of the Moon and Blood Moon effects disrupting mana, with players trying to find answers while setting up their synergies.

Krenko leveraged token generation and sacrifice outlets like Skirk Prospector to maintain pressure, while Aminatou used flicker effects and value creatures such as Spellseeker and Sun Titan to control the board and tutor for key spells.

Etali capitalized on ramp spells and big creatures to threaten heavy damage, and Tuvasa maintained a defensive stance with utility creatures and enchantments.
