Travis, piloting a Sabrina Carpenter-themed Nelly Borca deck, focused on goating opponents and leveraging Sabrina's ability to 'suspect' and control opposing creatures.
Tom’s Imotekh the Stormlord deck capitalized on artifact creation and Nekron token generation, using enchantments like Bot Transference to turn creatures into artifact creatures and generate tokens upon casting artifact spells.
Corey’s Mendicant Core deck aimed to accelerate artifact casting and create multiple copies for explosive board presence, while Dom’s Agatha of the Vile Cauldron deck concentrated on reducing activation costs of abilities and leveraging enchantments like Guardian Project for card draw advantage. Key turning points included Tom establishing a steady flow of Nekron tokens through Bot Transference and Arcane Signet, ramping his mana and board presence.
Travis strategically attacked with Sabrina Borca to trigger multiple 'suspect' effects, disrupting opponents by forcing creatures to be 'goated' and controlling blockers.
The artifact race escalated with players generating thopter tokens and artifact creatures, culminating in a tense interaction where combat damage drew cards due to Mendicant Core’s Arcane Signet.
The game leaned heavily on artifact synergies and enchantment-driven card draw, with players jockeying for board control through incremental value and tactical attacks.
