Gameplay Summary
The game began with players carefully developing their boards while navigating around each other's potential combos and threats.
Early plays involved slow mana acceleration and setting up key pieces, including Zur establishing his board presence with enchantments and Sisay preparing her toolbox with artifacts.
The tension increased as control elements and counters were held back to prevent early explosive plays, especially from Sisay and Rograkh.
A turning point came when Derevi entered the battlefield, tapping down threats and enabling value plays.
The game escalated when a complex interaction involving Birthing Pod and flicker effects was executed, leading to an infinite combo loop that generated infinite hasty cat tokens.
This combo secured the win by overwhelming the table with a massive board state.
