Summary

The game began with a slow early setup phase as players developed their mana bases and laid down initial creatures and ramp spells. The player piloting Aragorn, the Uniter focused on assembling a four-color surprise deck anchored by angels, emphasizing synergy with flying vigilance creatures and incremental life gain. Giada, Font of Hope's player prioritized angel tribal strategies with multiple angels entering the battlefield and enhancing each other with counters. Obeka, Splitter of Seconds’ pilot leveraged her ability to cast spells on other players' turns, creating tempo plays and generating value from instant-speed interactions. Meanwhile, Obyra, Dreaming Duelist’s player ramped aggressively with artifacts and enchantments like Soul Ring and Mocking Sprite, enabling cheaper spellcasting and board presence.
