Summary

The game began with each player establishing their board presence through early ramp and creature deployment, with Selvala generating card advantage and Brudiclad focusing on token creation and token copying. Tuvasa quickly built a potent enchantment-based strategy, drawing cards and buffing herself with auras and equipment to become a formidable threat. Isperia played a more control-oriented role with defensive flyers and taxing effects, while also generating card draw with creatures like Soul of the Harvest. Midgame saw a key turning point when Callum used Mosswort Bridge's ability to reveal and cast The Winds of Wrath, wiping the board except for indestructible creatures and key threats. Brudiclad capitalized on this by recasting his commander and creating a large army of tokens, while Tuvasa used evasive buffs and auras to push through lethal commander damage. The game ended when Tuvasa dealt lethal infect damage to Callum, showcasing the power of enchantment synergy and evasive combat damage in a multiplayer environment.
