Summary

The game unfolded with an early lead by Sam playing The Mycotyrant, generating numerous 1/1 fungus tokens. However, his momentum was disrupted by Exra using a Generous Gift to transform The Mycotyrant into a 3/3 elephant, limiting its token generation. Meanwhile, Tom's Tetzin, Gnome Champion deck showcased its self-milling and artifact recursion strategy, leading to the transformation of Tetzin into The Golden-Gear Colossus. The game's tide turned when Tom played the Unstable Glyph Bridge, destroying all other creatures and triggering multiple death effects. However, Exra and Sam didn't give up easily, with Exra's Clavileño, First of the Blessed deck generating demons and creating pressure with attack tactics, while Sam kept recurring his Mycotyrant. The game ended in a flurry of spells and attacks, with John's Don Andres, the Renegade deck leveraging various exile effects, treasure generation, and ultimately casting Beast the Deathless Prince to gain control of The Golden-Gear Colossus and swing for a potentially decisive attack.
