Summary

The game opened with each player developing their boards in accordance with their deck strategies. Jason, piloting Kumena, focused on tapping and untapping mechanics to draw cards, while Alex, playing Narset, aimed to go wide with creatures and cast non-creature spells from graveyards. Ethan, running Lathril, quickly ramped with elf creatures, while Matt, on Bartolomé del Presidio, looked to sacrifice creatures and drain life from opponents. A pivotal moment occurred when Matt cleared the board with an overloaded 'Dam', resetting the game state. Jason capitalized on this by casting a 'Seedborn Muse', allowing him to untap all permanents each turn, and leveraging Kumena's abilities to draw cards and grow his merfolk army. Despite Alex's attempt to keep up by casting 'Narset, Enlightened Master', it was Ethan who made the power play by casting 'Craterhoof Behemoth' for a massive swing. Despite attempts to counter it, Ethan was able to successfully cast the behemoth leading to a massive swing of damage, taking out Jason and dealing a significant blow to Matt.
