Summary

The game started with both players developing their mana bases and setting up early board presence. Temmet, Naktamun's Will, utilized a suite of zombies and value creatures like Undead Augur, Wayward Servant, and Endless Ranks of the Dead to generate card advantage and apply pressure. Meanwhile, Loot, the Pathfinder focused on drawing cards through Guardian Project and leveraging exhaust abilities to gain incremental advantages. Early skirmishes saw Loot attacking to chip away at Temmet’s life total, while Temmet responded with token generation and zombie synergies. A key turning point occurred when Loot assembled a robust board with multiple creatures and key artifacts like Arcane Signet and Run Over to clear problematic blockers. Loot’s strategy of drawing massive numbers of cards and deploying threats such as Adrenaline Jockey and Stampeding Squarefoot allowed him to overwhelm Temmet’s defenses. Despite Temmet’s aggressive swings with his Commander and zombie horde, Loot’s careful blocking and removal, including destroying Diregraf Captain, blunted Temmet’s offense. The game concluded when Loot activated a powerful mana generation combo with Boompile to cast a large X spell, dealing lethal damage supported by a 4/4 flying dragon, securing the win.
