Summary

The game began with aggressive early plays involving ramp and disruption, notably a Force of Negation countering a key Lion's Eye Diamond play. Baal utilized Kraum and Tymna to generate card advantage and pressure opponents, while Diogo developed a board with Jetmir, Nexus of Revels, creating multiple tokens to apply continuous pressure. Rodrigo leveraged Jeska and Thrasios with a suite of mana rocks and spells aimed at explosive combos. David piloted Muldrotha, the Gravetide, focusing on graveyard recursion and value from permanents. A pivotal moment occurred when Baal cast a Wheel of Fortune under Notion Thief, drawing an enormous number of cards but struggling to convert that advantage due to lock pieces like Stony Silence and Hushbringer on the board. Diogo's stax elements hindered Baal's combo potential but could not fully stop David's Muldrotha deck. David executed a powerful combo involving Animate Dead on Hullbreaker Horror, Phantasmal Image copying Thrasios, and a loop of casting Mana Crypt and Sol Ring to generate infinite mana. This allowed him to draw his entire deck and cast a Walking Ballista with lethal counters, wiping the board and winning the game.
