Summary

The game started with all players ramping aggressively and casting key pieces to establish strong board presence. Ulalek, Fused Atrocity's player focused on assembling an infinite combo with Alrai Scions and backed it up by casting massive Eldrazi creatures like Alrai Titans to threaten board wipes. Disa the Restless leveraged graveyard recursion and sacrifice loops to drain opponents, while Omo, Queen of Vesuva capitalized on heavy landfall synergies and everything counters to generate value and board dominance. Satya, Aetherflux Genius focused on energy counters and cloning effects, creating incremental advantages and pressuring opponents with spells like Galvanic Discharge and Goldspan Dragon. A pivotal moment occurred when Ulalek’s player used Emerle, the Promised End to take control of an opponent's turn, effectively removing Alex (Disa) from the game by forcing him to lose all his life after exploiting Necropotence. This control combo shifted the game momentum heavily in Ulalek’s favor. Meanwhile, Omo and Satya continued to build value engines with everything counters and energy, but the aggressive combo and control elements from Ulalek proved decisive as the game progressed, with Ulalek's player executing a lethal strategy by leveraging high-impact creatures and spells, augmented by token sacrifice and flash effects to maintain pressure and ultimately close out the game.
