Player Higher, using Atraxa, Grand Unifier, quickly turned the tides with a play of 'Saw on Half' on 'Serra Ascendant', creating two 6/6 flying lifelink creatures. This led to a significant swing in life totals, with Tyler, using Rowan, Scion of War, being the primary target. Despite several attempts to stabilize, including a thwarted 'Torment of Hailfire', the game concluded with Higher, using 'Sun Titan' and 'Orcish Lumberjack' to eliminate Tyler.
