Summary

The game started off with players gradually developing their boards and ramping their mana. With the presence of a Sol Ring and a Far Seek, Jimmy's Obuun deck managed to come out of the gates quickly. Meanwhile, GermanGaryOak's Henzie deck also got a good start with Krosan Verge allowing for efficient mana fixing. The game took a significant turn when Brian's Ezuri deck started to gain momentum with a proliferate strategy. His utilization of Jace, Architect of Thought for card advantage and Simic Manipulator for control proved to be pivotal. Olivia's Liberator deck attempted to disrupt the game tempo by flashing in a Mancer. However, the outcome of the game is unclear from the available transcript.
