Gameplay Summary

The game began with all players developing their mana bases and deploying key ramp and utility creatures.

Osgir, the Reconstructor focused on artifact recursion, setting up with Soul Ring and Mox Opal to enable repeated artifact synergies.

Selvala, Heart of the Wilds leveraged mono-green ramp with creatures like Arbor Elf and Allosaur Shepherd to accelerate mana production and bolster board presence.

Francisco and Thrasios operated a Cradle-fueled turbo deck that combined black tutors and fast mana, while Rograkh and Thrasios played a fast mana and value strategy backed by Gaea's Cradle. Early turns saw Osgir establish artifact recursion by returning multiple Soul Rings and activating his commander for repeated value.

Selvala ramped aggressively with multiple mana dorks to enable big threats like Ashaya, Soul of the Wild.

Francisco and Thrasios deployed creatures and enchantments that enhanced mana and card advantage, including a notable play with Angel of Ruin exiling key artifacts and enchantments to disrupt opponents.

Rograkh’s deck showed resilience through efficient value creatures and interaction.

A key turning point was the use of Fleshbag Marauder effects and repeated Thrasios activations to control the board and generate incremental advantage.

The game balanced around artifact recursion, green ramp, and tutor-powered value plays, with players carefully choosing attack targets and managing resources to avoid early elimination.

The interplay of artifact recursion and green ramp proved central to maintaining tempo, while tutors and disruption shaped the pace of the game.
