Summary

The game started with the players showcasing their starting hands and strategies. As the game progressed, Josh, playing Rograkh and Thrasios, attempted to polymorph their commanders into Tidespout Tyrant for a combo win. However, this was disrupted by Carlos' Tana and Tymna deck, which aimed to slow down the game. Jonny, playing Selvala, attempted to generate infinite mana but was thwarted by Josh's strategic use of the card Fierce Guardianship. The game's tempo was further disrupted by John S' Codie deck, which focused on fast combos and had multiple interactions to protect Codie from Carlos' Assassin's Trophy. As the game reached its climax, Carlos attempted to control the board state with Smothering Tithe, which was again countered by Josh's Fierce Guardianship. This was a pivotal moment in the game as it significantly impacted the pace and direction of the gameplay.
