Summary
The game started off with each player setting up their board states and showing their individual strategies. Ian's sweet gum recluse and natural reclamation combo disrupted Ma's gari signet. Mark's hanged executioner equipped with a sword started dealing early damage. Max's professional face breaker and Zenia started to exert pressure on the board as well. A pivotal moment came when Ma played a finale of Devastation, giving his squirrel army +10/+10 and haste, and dealing a significant amount of damage to each opponent. However, Max ultimately won the game with an infinite combo using Helm of the Host and Combat Celebrant, prompting Ian and Mark to concede.
