Summary

The game was a riveting and dynamic battle between Kinnan, Sisay, Rielle, and Inalla. Early in the game, Mike's Kinnan deck started to generate significant mana, enabling him to put down imposing threats like Seedborn Muse and Consecrated Sphinx. Despite Hidden's attempt to wipe the board with Vampire's Vengeance, Mike managed to maintain his board presence. A crucial turning point came when Mike managed to clone Hidden's The One Ring with Clever Impersonator, but Griffin's Force of Will stopped him. Hidden then used Dakk Faden to steal Griffin's Soul Cauldron, which gave him more control over the board. Despite Noah's attempts to control the game with Rhystic Study and Shallow Grave, he couldn't keep up with the pressure and was often targeted by Hidden's Ragavan. The game ended with Hidden's Ragavan continually pressuring Noah, causing Noah to exile several lands and ultimately lose the game.
