Summary

The game opened with Edgar Markov quickly establishing a strong vampire board presence by using his Eminence ability and synergistic vampires like Welcoming Vampire and Cordial Vampire to generate tokens and draw cards. This aggressive vampire tribal strategy rapidly put pressure on all opponents, swinging early and consistently. Meanwhile, Tovolar, Dire Overlord leveraged ramp, wolf tokens, and the day/night mechanic to maintain board presence and card advantage, summoning wolves that could attack and trigger draw effects. Gisa and Geralf focused on graveyard synergy and milling, setting up combos and reanimating key creatures to incrementally gain advantage through zombie tribal synergies and incremental value. Liesa, Forgotten Archangel played an aristocrat-style angel deck with sacrifice themes, aiming to generate value through repeated sacrifices and recursion, supporting a slower but resilient midrange plan.
