Gameplay Summary
The game began with a typical early setup from all four players, establishing mana bases and deploying early threats such as Scrapwork Mutt, Reckless Fireweaver, and Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer.
Arja, piloting Dihada, Binder of Wills, focused on treasure token generation and sacrifice synergies, leveraging creatures like Apprentice Necromancer and Dusk Mangler to disrupt opponents by forcing them to sacrifice creatures, discard cards, and lose life.
Sammy's Ognis, the Dragon's Lash deck aggressively utilized treasure generation and cascade mechanics, casting spells like Rain of Riches and Erabrask to flood the board with goblins and Thopters, culminating in powerful swarm attacks and stealing key artifacts and creatures with Kellan, the Collector.
Max and Matthieu, controlling Tony Stark // The Invincible Iron Man and Thor, God of Thunder respectively, employed artifact and equipment synergies, with Iron Man equipped with Mjolnir and Ultimate Weapon providing a strong threat that was central to Matthieu's strategy.
