Summary
The game kickstarted with all players ramping and setting up their boards. The Aesi deck player, Nate, utilized Lotus Cobra for ramping while the Codie deck player, Dylan, brought out Cody early and started his value engine. Dylan then cast Jessica's Will, generating substantial mana and revealing several tutors and protection spells from his deck. Despite a close call with a potential counter from the Niv-Mizzet deck player, Tomer, he managed to resolve Ad Nauseam, pulling him dangerously low on life but giving him the necessary cards to close out the game. He then used a combination of Tainted Pact, Thassa's Oracle, and Yawgmoth's Will to secure the victory.
