Gameplay Summary

The game started with each player laying out their strategies and initial plays.

The initial turns saw the players setting up their board states, with Oviya Pashiri focusing on generating value through tokens and lifegain, while Raff Capashen aimed to control the game through instant-speed spells and historic synergies.

Atraxa sought to dominate the board with a Superfriends strategy, building up Planeswalkers for control, while Tergrid aimed to disrupt the opponents' strategies by forcing them to sacrifice and discard their resources.

A pivotal moment occurred when Tergrid cast a massive Death Cloud, forcing all players to sacrifice numerous resources - lands, creatures, and cards in hand.

This move significantly disrupted the strategies of the other players, particularly Oviya Pashiri's token strategy, and set Tergrid up for a potential win.
