Summary

The game began with each player setting up their early mana base and playing key ramp or utility creatures. The Mimeoplasm player focused on accelerating Hermit Druid to quickly dump their library into the graveyard, leveraging graveyard synergies for a powerful late game. Stella Lee's deck aimed to cast multiple spells quickly to capitalize on cascade and card advantage, trying to find a critical mass of spells to win through card recursion or combo. Korvold's deck prioritized sacrificing permanents and drawing cards to grow into a large threat, using creatures like Dothy and the synergy of sacrifice triggers to generate value. Tivit's deck sought to generate incremental advantage through stealing cards and controlling the board with disruptive threats like Timestream Navigator while applying pressure with flying creatures. A key turning point was Korvold aggressively sacrificing permanents to grow into a formidable flying threat while drawing cards, putting pressure on opponents. Meanwhile, The Mimeoplasm player successfully deployed Hermit Druid to start milling the deck and set up graveyard-dependent plays. Stella Lee built towards casting a third spell for her cascade effect but was slowed down by damage and pressure from opponents. Tivit used artifact acceleration and removal tools like Orcish Bowmaster to maintain control and disrupt others' key pieces. The game developed into a tense battle of attrition and value generation, with Korvold's incremental card draw and growing board presence playing a pivotal role in maintaining tempo and threatening the table.
