• 

  Reyhan, Last of the Abzan

  Paired with Silas Renn, this deck focuses on moving +1/+1 counters to create large, resilient creatures. It employs sacrifice and recursion to maintain board state and uses equipment and counter synergies to dominate combat.

Summary

The game began with each player setting up their board with ramp and early creatures, establishing their respective strategies. Daretti focused on artifact synergy and recursion, leveraging cards like Grim Monolith and Crucible of Worlds to maintain board presence despite early aggression. Silas Renn combined with Reyhan enabled powerful counter manipulation and token generation, while Rienne used Congregation at Dawn and Rhianne to maintain a steady stream of creatures and pressure. Karametra ramped heavily into powerful planeswalkers like Nissa, Who Shakes the World, and used populating tokens via Carn's Bastion and Doubling Season to amass a formidable board state. A major turning point occurred when Max (Karametra) established a dominant board state with Nissa and multiple emblems from planeswalkers, culminating in an overloaded Winds of Abandon that cleared opponents' creatures. Meanwhile, the artifact-heavy decks struggled to keep pace as board wipes forced sacrifices, but Daretti consistently recovered using Crucible of Worlds and replays. Nick's Rhianne deck took advantage of creature deaths via Perilous Foray and recurring creatures to maintain resources. The game featured significant interactions around graveyard recursion, counters, and board control, with players balancing aggression and defense. Ultimately, the game highlighted the power of planeswalker synergies combined with token generation and resilience through recursion.
