Gameplay Summary
The game began with players ramping and setting up their mana bases using various fetch lands, dual lands, and fast mana artifacts like Lotus Pedal and Mox Diamond.
Early turns focused on establishing board state and tutoring key combo pieces, with one player notably landing an Underworld Breach and Brain Freeze combo setup.
This combo allowed for repeated self-milling and storm count increases, generating multiple copies of Brain Freeze on the stack to mill opponents' libraries rapidly.
The player with Underworld Breach exploited this to mill all opponents and set up a win condition involving casting multiple spells in a single turn.
Despite some interruptions and interaction attempts, the combo player successfully executed their plan and won the game through storm-based milling and recursion.
