Summary

The game began with Tyler on the play, aggressively attacking with Ginger Brute early on to chip away at life totals. Wort, the Raidmother’s player focused on ramping and developing the board by casting key spells such as Far Seek and Skyshard Claim to fix mana and generate resources. The arrival of Wort herself brought a swarm of goblin tokens, bolstering the board presence. Meanwhile, Brenard’s player utilized ramp and value creatures like Salvage Splicer and Restless Vine Stalker, creating threats and maintaining pressure with the Ginger Brute and golems summoned via Teic. A pivotal moment occurred when Brenard used Tempting Apple to gain control of Wort, turning the tide by swinging with multiple creatures and forcing tough blocks from the goblin tokens and spiders generated by Arachnogenesis. Wort’s player attempted to stabilize with token generation and artifact sacrifice synergies from Skirk Prospector and Empty the Warrens, but ultimately was overwhelmed by Brenard’s efficient combat and removal spells. The game concluded with Brenard’s lethal attack after reducing Wort’s life to three, capitalizing on board control and superior card advantage.
