Summary

The game began with each player setting up their board and early ramp, with Gev focusing on boosting creatures and pinging opponents, Bello utilizing enchantments and artifacts to generate value and damage multipliers, Zinnia aiming to clone creatures to disrupt opponents and gain value, and The Wise Mothman working towards a rat counter and milling strategy to build large creatures. Early plays included ramp spells and key creatures like Roaming Throne and Warleader's Call, which started to push damage through incremental boosts and triggers. A key turning point was when Roaming Throne’s haste and indestructibility synergized with Bello’s ability, enabling aggressive attacks and card draw. Additionally, Gev’s use of persist creatures combined with ping effects created steady pressure across the table. Zinnia’s cloning and token generation also began to complicate the board state by copying impactful creatures and generating tokens to swarm opponents. The Wise Mothman attempted to leverage rat counters and milling but faced resistance from the growing board presence of others.
