Gameplay Summary

The game featured four competitive decks with distinct strategies, including artifact theft, infinite mana combos, stax and reanimation, and creature combo wins.

Early game saw players developing their boards with mana rocks, ramp, and protective enchantments.

Alana, piloting Thada Adel, Acquisitor, executed a key combo involving Isochron Scepter imprinted with Dramatic Reversal to generate infinite mana and card draw, enabling her to cast a large Walking Ballista.

This allowed her to systematically eliminate opponents.

Meanwhile, other players leveraged their commanders and opening plays to establish board presence and disrupt opponents, but Alana’s combo proved decisive.

The game ended when Alana used Walking Ballista’s removal ability to kill all other players and secure victory.
