Gameplay Summary
The game starts with players establishing the board and ramping mana, with Dr. Eggman quickly becoming a central threat through his powerful commander ability that forces opponents to discard or face the deployment of additional constructs.
Early turns show players cautiously building resources and trying to mitigate Eggman's villainous choices that strain their hands.
A key turning point occurs when Sonic's deck enables a devastating combo involving multiple mana accelerants and artifacts, allowing him to generate overwhelming advantage and board presence.
Knuckles' double strike and Shadow's chaos-themed abilities contribute to aggressive board states, but the main focus is on controlling or removing Eggman to prevent his continuous card advantage and board flooding.
The game culminates in a fiery meltdown where Sonic’s combo breaks the board state, effectively closing out the game with lethal damage or overwhelming board control.
