Summary

The game started off with all players building up their boards and ramping their mana. Early in the game, a Linvala, Keeper of Silence was played which hindered the strategies of the Daretti and Zacama decks. Later in the game, an Opposition Agent was played in response to a Cultivate, shutting down the ramp and leaving the Karador player without much action. The game took a significant turn when a second Linvala was played, further locking down the board. The Daretti player then played a Gamble to find a potential answer to the Linvalas. The game ended with the Daretti player playing a Mycosynth Lattice and Karn, the Great Creator, locking the other players out of tapping their artifacts for mana.
