Summary
The game started off with a focus on mana ramp and board setup, with each player deploying their commanders fairly early in the game. The critical turning point came when Oblivion, piloting Yargle and Multani, cast Life's Legacy, sacrificing Yargle and Multani to draw a huge number of cards. This was swiftly followed by a Necromancy, bringing Yargle and Multani back to the battlefield. With a formidable board presence and a refreshed hand, Oblivion was well-positioned for victory. However, the game took an unexpected turn when Pez, playing Grolnok, attempted a Brain Freeze combo, which was disrupted by Cameron's timely Dismember. Despite this setback, the game ended with Oblivion's victory, as they were able to leverage their card advantage and board presence to overcome the other players.
