Deck Strategies
Derevi, Empyrial Tactician
The Derevi deck relies on exploiting Derevi's untap abilities to control the board and gain advantage. It aims to perform infinite loops with Derevi and AAL the Blast for the win.
Rograkh, Son of Rohgahh / Silas Renn, Seeker Adept
This deck resolves around generating massive card advantage engines like Ad Nauseam or Necropotence early in the game. It closes out the game with Underworld Breach or Oracle.
Godo, Bandit Warlord
The Godo deck aims to ramp up mana as much as possible, then cast its commander to fetch Helm of the Host and win with infinite combat.
Nadu, Winged Wisdom
The Nadu deck leverages Nadu's ramp and card advantage abilities. It uses cards like Field of the Dead and Scoot Swarm to fuel more creatures for Nadu and aims to win the game with combat.

Summary
The game kicked off with all players deploying their resources and setting up their boards. Sasha had an early advantage with Rograkh, Son of Rohgahh and Silas Renn, Seeker Adept, making a strong early presence. Ryan with Godo, Bandit Warlord, focused on ramping and setting up his win condition. Andy with Derevi, Empyrial Tactician, and Brian with Nadu, Winged Wisdom, were more in control and ramp strategies. A critical turning point was when Sasha cast Wheel of Fortune, forcing everyone to discard their hands and draw new ones. But Andy eventually took the lead by establishing an infinite mana combo with Nomads and his commander Derevi, allowing him to put all lands on the battlefield and draw the rest of his library. He then executed a flicker loop with Derevi and AAL the Blast to continuously untap his lands, generating infinite mana and leading to his victory.
