• 

  Kenrith, the Returned King (Adam)

  Focuses on drawing a large number of cards through Ad Nauseam or Puresteel Paladin combos, then closing the game quickly with a powerful infinite or near-infinite combo.

•

  Plays a control game with card advantage engines and table policing, aiming to slow opponents and gain incremental advantage before closing out the game.

• 

  Kenrith, the Returned King (Tyler)

  Reanimator style deck that puts combo pieces into the graveyard and uses Kenrith's abilities to reanimate and assemble combos to win the game.

Gameplay Insights

• 1

  Daretti's use of Goblin Engineer sacrificing artifacts like Mere Retriever and Conjurer's Bauble to recur key combo pieces was critical in maintaining board presence and progressing combos.

• 2

  The interplay between Mesmeric Orb and graveyard recursion created continuous milling and card advantage across multiple turns, putting pressure on all players.

• 3

  Rashmi’s control elements, including counterspells like Swansong and disruption spells, were effective in slowing down powerful plays but had difficulty stopping artifact-based combos.

• 4

  Kenrith's ability to grant haste and trample to creatures enabled aggressive attacks to pressure opponents and create openings for combo execution.

Summary

Key turning points included Daretti's use of God-Pharaoh's Statue to drain opponents incrementally and the interaction of Goblin Engineer with Cursed Mirror to repeatedly fetch and reanimate important artifacts like Basalt Monolith and Mesmeric Orb. Rashmi's control elements, including counterspells and card selection, slowed the pace but struggled against the artifact recursion and the Kenrith decks' explosive potential. Despite multiple attempts at drawing the game out and locking opponents down, the game saw high-impact plays around artifact synergy and graveyard recursion. The win condition was primarily to assemble infinite combos or overwhelming board states through artifact recursion (Daretti) or massive card draw and combo (Kenrith).
