Summary

The game started with all four players developing their mana bases and establishing early board presence. Saheeli focused on creating token copies of artifacts and creatures to leverage enter-the-battlefield effects, quickly generating value with cards like Skyscanner and Goldspan Dragon. General Tazri capitalized on a strong ally tribal synergy, using multiple ETB triggers and buffs to grow a formidable board state. Xyris aimed to clone powerful creatures repeatedly, generating overwhelming advantage with token copies and damage triggers. Volo used his ability to create copies of creatures with unique types, flooding the board with tokens and maintaining pressure. Key turning points occurred when Cipher’s General Tazri deployed multiple allies with large buffs, enabling him to deliver lethal attacks that eliminated two opponents simultaneously. Ashley’s Saheeli deck showed strong tempo plays with haste creatures and treasure generation but was eventually overwhelmed by the heavy ally synergy. Will’s Xyris generated a significant number of tokens and damage through cloning, but the combined aggression from Tazri's allies and Volo's wolves proved decisive. The game concluded shortly after Tazri’s devastating combat phase, showcasing the power of ally tribal synergy combined with ETB triggers and buffs.
