Summary

The game started with typical early mana ramp and card draw, with players quickly setting up their boards and digging for key pieces. One pivotal moment was Grenzo's attempt to cast Doomsday, a powerful combo enabler, which was met with multiple counterspells and a clever redirection using Infamous Miscreant, ultimately fizzling the combo attempt. Meanwhile, the Brallin/Shabraz deck focused on assembling a Curiosity combo with Ghostly Pilferer as a discard outlet, enabling a loop that dealt damage and drew cards. This deck demonstrated strong consistency through multiple curiosity effects and discard outlets, effectively turning wheel effects and looting spells into a win condition. Other players utilized treasure tokens generated by Dockside Extortionist and various tutors to maintain card advantage and control the pace of the game.
