Summary

The game started with all players focusing on ramping their mana resources and setting the groundwork for their respective strategies. Mel, with her Saheeli, the Gifted deck, was the first to make an impactful play by summoning her commander and creating a servo token, signaling a strong artifact-based strategy. This early move put Mel in a commanding position, with her opponents struggling to keep up. The game progressed with players building up their board states, but Mel's advantage was clear. Despite the best efforts of the other players, Mel's well-executed strategy culminated in a decisive victory.
