Gameplay Summary
The game began with all four players setting up their boards with early mana dorks and key creatures.
Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow, made a strong start with the Ingenious Prodigy, quickly gaining card advantage and applying pressure.
Tymna and Malcolm developed their board with mana acceleration and interaction, while Sisay, Weatherlight Captain, prepared to leverage legendary permanents to fuel powerful tutor effects.
Prossh, Skyraider of Kher, ramped with a Demonic Tutor to find crucial pieces, including Dockside Extortionist, a pivotal card for generating explosive mana.
A significant turning point came when the Dockside Extortionist was resolved, enabling massive treasure generation and infinite mana combos, especially when paired with cards that allowed repeated treasure sac outlets.
Sisay capitalized on this by assembling a potent board state with multiple legendary permanents and tutoring key cards like Oath of Nissa to enhance consistency.
The game swiftly accelerated as the infinite treasure combo allowed Sisay to draw into game-winning threats and lock down opponents.
Despite Yuriko's aggressive early plays and Tymna & Malcolm's controlled development, the overwhelming mana advantage and combo execution by Sisay secured a relatively quick victory in about 20 minutes.
