Summary
The game started with each player setting up their mana base and ramp, with Rograkh-Thrasios quickly establishing key mana sources such as Sol Ring and Underground Sea. Early turns saw incremental board development and some life loss triggers from cards like Bloodchief Ascension and Shieldred. A critical turning point came when Rograkh-Thrasios exploded with infinite mana using a loop involving Darksteel Relic and Rhystic Study, enabling casting of The One Ring for protection and Thrasios to scry and dig for win conditions. The player then used Trophy Mage to find Basalt Monolith and cast Evolution to generate more value, eventually drawing their entire deck and setting up a Finale of Devastation with a massive X value, clearing the board and dealing lethal damage in one swing. The game concluded swiftly after this combo, with the Rograkh-Thrasios player winning decisively.
