Gameplay Summary

The game started with each player developing their board state carefully, with Nissa ramping using energy and lands, Aragorn establishing early board presence and claiming the Monarch, Giada focusing on angel synergy and card draw, and Yargle with Multani preparing for a big punch.

Early tension revolved around the threat of Yargle, the one punch frog, who could potentially end the game quickly with a single hit.

Players positioned themselves thoughtfully to avoid provoking the frog while developing their resources.

Giada equipped Lightning Greaves to protect key creatures, while others set up ramp and defensive blockers.

As the game progressed, various creatures and artifacts entered the battlefield, with Nissa using energy to keep creatures alive and Aragorn leveraging his Monarch status to gain card advantage.

The board state was tense, with players wary of triggering Yargle's devastating potential, leading to careful attacks and defensive plays.

The gameplay centered on managing threats, ramping mana, and building towards a critical strike or board control to push for the win.
