Gameplay Insights

  • 1

    The Scarab God player's early Ruin Crab presents a significant threat, especially in combination with the Syr Konrad player's similar mill strategy. It forces the other players to adjust their strategies and prioritize graveyard interaction.

  • 2

    The Azusa player's rapid mana ramp through cards like Ancient Tomb and Nature's Lore sets them up for big plays in the upcoming turns.

  • 3

    The Scarab God player cleverly uses the mill strategy not only as a win condition but also as a way to fuel their own graveyard synergies.

  • 4

    Given the strong focus on graveyards in this game, any player with graveyard interaction or recursion could gain a significant advantage.

Summary

The early game sees a bit of ramping and setup, with the first significant play being a Ruin Crab from the Scarab God player, aiming to mill opponents. Syr Konrad, the Grim player, also hints at a mill strategy, making it clear that the battlefield will quickly become a graveyard. Azusa, Lost but Seeking and Delney, Streetwise Lookout players, on the other hand, focus more on building their mana base and board presence.
