Gameplay Summary

The game started with players quickly establishing their boards and developing mana bases.

Lady Octopus was deployed early to enable card draw and resource advantage, while Kaalia focused on ramping into powerful demon creatures.

Tasigur utilized a combo involving Devoted Druid and Hazel's Brew Master to generate infinite green mana, which was then leveraged to reset the deck and replay key spells.

Sisay played a supportive role with ramp and protection spells but was unable to stabilize against the rapid combos emerging from the other players.

The critical turning point emerged when Tasigur went off with the infinite mana combo, recasting his entire deck and assembling a winning board state swiftly.

Despite some hesitation, the game concluded shortly after with Tasigur's decisive combo victory.
