Summary
The game started off with each player setting up their boards and casting their commanders. Intac struggled with mana fixing early on, but managed to get Thrasios on the board. Hidden, piloting Magda, applied pressure early with repeated attacks generating treasures. Neco, using Roxanne, attempted to go infinite with Dual Caster Mage and Heat Shimmer, but was thwarted by Nyar's Abrupt Decay. Nyar, commanding Tevesh and Kodama, then took over the game with a series of powerful plays. He ramped quickly, filled his hand with a multitude of cards, and executed a devastating Calling Ritual. This allowed him to cast a series of free spells via Kodama's ability, eventually setting up an infinite loop with Pitiless Plunderer, Blood Artist, and Forsaken Monument to drain the table and win the game.
