Summary

The game featured four distinct decks clashing with unique strategies: a mechanized artifact-centric Urza deck, a damage-doubling Wolverine tribal deck, a life-gain focused Oloro deck, and a food and mana combo-oriented Hazel deck. Early turns saw players establishing their board states with ramp and key creatures, such as Urza creating constructs and Wolverine building up damage potential. Wolverine leveraged its double damage ability aggressively, swinging early to pressure opponents and generate treasure tokens through sacrifice effects. Oloro aimed to stabilize through incremental life gain and disruption, notably casting Tainted Remedy to punish opponents for life gain. Meanwhile, Hazel worked toward a food-based combo, generating mana and treasure tokens to ramp into powerful spells and combos.
