Summary
The game began with players establishing mana bases and early board presence, with several casting key ramp and disruption spells. Early interaction included Force of Will and Pyroblast responses to prevent critical plays. The main turning point occurred when one player assembled a combo involving artifact copies and mana generation. Specifically, they used a sequence of artifact recursion and copying effects to generate infinite mana colors. This infinite mana was then leveraged to cast multiple spells and trigger extort from Blind Obedience, ultimately draining opponents' life totals. Despite early board interaction and disruption, the combo player successfully locked down the game with this infinite mana win condition.
