    Emiel the Blessed player cast Wrath of God early, effectively resetting the board and delaying fast tribal decks, which shifted the game tempo in favor of slower strategies.

    The elf deck leveraged Elvish Warmaster to generate tokens and create a wide board, then used Ezuri's anthem to pump creatures and grant trample for a strong offensive push.

    Inalla’s player used Sage of Fables and copied wizards to maintain card advantage despite the board resets, showcasing resilience through incremental value.

  • 4

Summary

The game featured four tribal decks led by The Ur-Dragon, Inalla, Archmage Ritualist, Ezuri, Renegade Leader, and Emiel the Blessed. Early turns saw players establishing their mana bases and deploying key synergy creatures: elves for Ezuri, wizards for Inalla, unicorns for Emiel, and dragons for The Ur-Dragon. A pivotal moment came when Emiel the Blessed cast Wrath of God, wiping the board and slowing down the aggressive elf and wizard strategies. This board wipe gave the slower dragon deck time to develop. Throughout the game, players leveraged tribal synergies and anthem effects like Coat of Arms to buff their creatures. Ezuri's elves quickly generated tokens and grew in power, while Inalla focused on doubling wizards' ETB triggers to gain card advantage. Emiel used his ability to proliferate +1/+1 counters on unicorns, building a formidable board presence. The Ur-Dragon player capitalized on the board wipe to stabilize and deploy powerful flying dragons, aiming to dominate the air and deal lethal damage. The game progressed as a battle of attrition with tribal combat and value plays, culminating in the dragon player's victory due to their late-game dominance with large, evasive creatures.
