Summary

The game started with a slow setup phase where players established their mana bases and deployed early utility creatures and artifacts like Soul Ring and various mana rocks. VeggieWagon on Ratadrabik of Urborg began building a complex aristocrats-style strategy, generating tokens and leveraging sacrifices with cards like Carrion Feeder and various altars to create zombie copies of legendary creatures. Meanwhile, Ron piloted Jodah, the Unifier, focusing on casting powerful multicolor legendary creatures and utilizing altars for synergy. The early turns saw incremental board development, with Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow aiming to flip high-cost cards to trigger ninja damage and card draw, and Kaalia of the Vast focusing on casting impactful demons, dragons, and angels to pressure opponents. A key turning point occurred when Ratadrabik's player assembled a combo involving infinite token generation and sacrifice outlets, creating a threatening board presence with zombie legends that forced other players to respond. Yuriko attempted to leverage the ninja combat damage triggers but struggled to find impactful flips early on. Kaalia of the Vast steadily cast large threats and used aggression to chip away at opponents' life totals. The game was marked by strategic plays around managing legendary permanents and maximizing value from sacrifice and recursion mechanics. The pivotal moments revolved around Ratadrabik’s ability to generate tokens and abuse sacrifice triggers, while Kaalia and Jodah sought to stabilize and apply pressure through their powerful creatures. The game ended with Ratadrabik's player capitalizing on the aristocrats engine and zombie tokens to overwhelm the table.
