Gameplay Summary
The game started with all three players setting up their mana bases and early plays, with each looking to establish their board states and dig for key combo pieces.
Kefka, Court Mage focused on unpredictable control and disruption, while Glarb, Calamity's Augur leveraged its powerful card advantage and graveyard synergy.
Lord of the Nazgûl aimed to build a resilient token army supported by synergy effects.
Early turns featured strategic card draws, land drops, and incremental board development, with some interaction involving counterspells and discard effects.
Midgame, players began to reveal their strategies more clearly, with reanimation and card draw engines coming online alongside removal and protection spells like Veil of Summer.
Notably, one player managed to assemble a threatening board state with Demon creatures and disruption through exile effects, life payment for card draw, and value recursion.
The game saw several tense moments with counterplays against powerful spells such as Molten Duplication.
Eventually, the player piloting Lord of the Nazgûl locked in a winning line by casting Oracle of Mul Daya to stack their deck, followed by Demonic Consultation to exile large portions of the library, sealing the game in a decisive and unexpected finish.
