  A token-focused aggressive deck that builds a massive board of creatures, uses haste and trample to deal heavy damage, and employs anthem effects and combat tricks to overwhelm opponents.

Gameplay Insights

• 1

  Casting True Conviction to grant double strike and vigilance greatly increased combat damage and board presence, serving as a turning point in the game.

• 2

  The decision to send a trampling creature unblocked against the warrior tribal player forced a concession by dealing lethal damage and opening opportunities for further attacks.

• 3

  The warrior tribal player’s Beastmaster Ascension was anticipated to stabilize the board, but the timely use of token generation and haste effects by the aggro deck circumvented this plan.

• 4

  Blocking choices significantly impacted the flow; notably, the warrior tribal player could have survived longer by blocking differently, illustrating the importance of defensive plays.

• 5

  Players prioritized attacking before casting spells that did not influence combat to maximize pressure and take advantage of combat triggers and damage potential.
