Summary

The game began with players establishing their mana bases and early board presence, with key plays including casting ramp spells like Sol Ring and deploying early creatures such as Magda, Brazen Outlaw and Sylvan Safekeeper. Magda's player focused on generating treasures and assembling artifact synergies, while Kinnan aimed to utilize his ability to ramp into large creatures and value plays. Tymna/Kodama's deck relied heavily on tutoring key pieces to assemble a mid-range combo, often casting multiple tutors to setup their strategy. Najeela aimed to generate a wide board of warriors and leverage combat tricks to apply pressure. A pivotal moment came when the One Ring was cast, granting protection and card advantage but was immediately countered by graveyard exile effects to prevent the powerful ETB advantage. Magda's player began to build a treasure engine supported by Dwarven synergies and Adaptive Automaton, which boosted the dwarf count and board presence. The game featured significant interaction around tutoring and graveyard disruption, with players carefully sequencing plays to protect their combo pieces while mounting threats. The game appeared to revolve around assembling combos quickly, disrupting opponents’ key cards, and leveraging board presence through artifact and warrior synergies to push for lethal damage.
