Summary

The game started off with each player steadily building their board states. Chandler was the first to break the peace, casting a Chromatic Lantern to fix his mana. Logan, piloting Rakdos, started applying pressure with Shepherd of Rot and then deployed his commander, Rakdos, Lord of Riots. Cody, piloting Gyruda, made a key play by casting Winds of Rebuke to bounce Logan's Winter Orb, freeing up everyone's mana. The game ended abruptly when Tyler, piloting the Brallin and Shabraz, transmuted a Muddle the Mixture to find Underworld Breach. With Lion's Eye Diamond and Brain Freeze already in his graveyard, he executed a combo that allowed him to mill out all his opponents, leading to a swift victory.
