Summary

The game kicked off with Memnarch's player mulliganing their hand twice before settling on a decent hand with a Rhystic Study and some ramp. The early game saw the players developing their boards, with Alesha, Who Smiles at Death ramping quickly into her commander and some creatures, while Mizzix of the Izmagnus and Bruvac the Grandiloquent focused on setting up their defenses. Memnarch, with a Rhystic Study in play, was able to draw a significant number of cards as the other players started to cast spells. Alesha, having the most aggressive board state, cast a Goblin Engineer, setting up a potential combo with the Altar of Dementia in her graveyard. In response, Memnarch copied Alesha's Mana Crypt using a Phyrexian Metamorph, providing a significant ramp advantage. As the game progressed, it became a race between the decks to assemble their respective win conditions.
