Summary

The game begins with players developing their mana bases and establishing early board presence, including casting key utility lands and artifacts like Mox Amber, Mana Vault, and Max Diamond to accelerate their mana production. Vivi Ornitier’s deck quickly showcases its potential with the casting of Harmonic Prodigy, setting up for heavy card draw and synergy plays. As the game progresses, players engage in combat and strategic plays, with Magda, Brazen Outlaw creating threats through dwarf tokens and treasure generation. Tangle Wire is deployed to disrupt opponents’ mana development, significantly slowing down their ability to cast spells. This card proves pivotal, as one player is unable to cast spells for several turns due to mana restrictions imposed by Tangle Wire and other taxing effects.
