Gameplay Summary

The game began with Ratchet establishing a life-gain engine using Soul Warden and Potion of Healing to draw cards and gain incremental advantage.

Ratchet's ability to transform from ambulance to a lifelink creature and recur artifacts like Potion of Healing was a notable early turning point, enabling continuous life gain and card draw.

Kaalia of the Vast aimed to aggressively deploy demons, dragons, and angels for free, pressuring opponents with high-impact creatures.

Obeka, Splitter of Seconds focused on controlling the game through oppressive upkeep triggers, seeking to disrupt opponents' plays.

Yuna, Grand Summoner aimed to build a +1/+1 counter board state, leveraging ramp and token generation through cards like Bone Shredder and other ramp spells. As the game progressed, Ratchet's repeated life gain and artifact recursion allowed for sustained value generation, drawing multiple cards and gaining life to stay resilient.

Kaalia's aggressive strategy was visible but was met with some resistance from the other players.

Obeka's oppressive upkeep effects aimed at limiting opponents’ options, while Yuna used ramp and token creation to build board presence.

The interplay between Ratchet’s artifact recursion and life gain combos, alongside Kaalia's threat deployment and Obeka’s control, created a dynamic where careful timing and tactical plays were essential.

The game featured a lot of incremental advantage plays, with Ratchet's combo-like synergy standing out as a key moment in the midgame.

The game likely revolved around managing board control and resource advantage, with Ratchet’s ability to repeatedly bring back life-gain artifacts as a central engine for staying in the game and out-valuing opponents.
