Summary
The game began with players developing their boards and ramping mana through various mana rocks and spells such as Arcane Signet, Sol Ring, and Midnight Clock. Early plays included drawing and discarding cards to set up powerful synergies. One player quickly cast their commander, Oskar, Rubbish Reclaimer, setting a fast tempo. Another player leveraged Sorcerer Class to generate tokens and incremental value, eventually creating a goblin army. A significant turning point came when a player cast Capture of Jingao, generating five goblins with haste and taking extra turns with Time Warp effects, enabling explosive board development and card draw. This allowed them to build a massive board state with dozens of goblins, supported by card draw engines like Treasure Cruise and Arcane Endeavor, culminating in a huge token swarm with haste and a strong offensive presence. The game shifted heavily towards token production and extra turns, enabling overwhelming attacks.
