Gameplay Summary

The game started with a strong early tempo from Ryan's Tevesh Szat and Kraum, leveraging fast mana artifacts and Rhystic Study to generate card advantage.

Drake on Najeela quickly assembled tokens and pressure through combat damage, while Jordan's Raggadragga deck aimed to disrupt opponents and set up a powerful infinite damage combo via Tooth and Nail.

Shaun piloted the Pir and Toothy deck focusing on manual storm lines and card draw synergies to win through Laboratory Maniac.

Early on, Ryan made a bold Ad Nauseum play to draw a large portion of his deck but was disrupted by a combination of counterspells and interaction from opponents, notably from Drake and Shaun, which stopped his win attempt. A key turning point occurred when Jordan cast Tooth and Nail, fetching powerful creatures to push for an overwhelming board state.

Meanwhile, Drake leveraged Najeela’s combo potential and token generation to maintain offensive pressure.

Ryan’s repeated use of Tevesh Szat's abilities to create blockers and dig for combo pieces kept him in the game despite the disruption.

Shaun’s manual storm strategy aimed to maximize Toothy’s counters and deck draw but faced pressure from aggressive combat and interaction.

The game featured intricate interaction among players with multiple counterspells, tutoring, and timing plays shaping the flow, with a heavy focus on disruption, combo assembly, and resource management.
