Summary

The game began with a fast-paced opening where David on Emry, Lurker of the Loch, leveraged a turn one Emry cast supported by Mox Diamond and Urza’s Bauble to quickly establish card advantage and disruption. Leite's Anje Falkenrath deck maintained pressure through recurring madness synergies and efficient discard outlets, while Baal's Galazeth Prismari deck applied early board presence and treasure ramp, attempting to curb opponents with Cursed Totem and Cyclonic Rift. Cinestra's Tasigur Golden Control deck focused on early ramp and card draw engines, notably casting Rhystic Study and Dark Confidant to build resources. A pivotal moment came when Cinestra used Eldritch Evolution to fetch Thassa’s Oracle and comboed with Demonic Consultation to win the first game swiftly, showcasing a classic storm-combo finish leveraging card draw and tutoring.
