Summary

The game began with Ashnod making the first aggressive move by casting Braids and sacrificing his land to draw cards. However, the game took a turn when the player with the Magus Lucea Kane deck started to establish board dominance with a combination of landfall triggers and spell copies. The Ashnod player, however, was able to keep up by using Ashnod's ability to sacrifice creatures for value and draw cards. The Magus Lucea Kane player managed to gain a significant advantage by casting Reshape the Earth, creating a massive army of zombies and a wealth of treasures. The Ashnod player attempted to counter this by playing Grey Merchant from the top of his library with Bolas's Citadel, but the Magus Lucea Kane player countered the Grey Merchant, preventing the life loss. Despite the other players' efforts, the Magus Lucea Kane player managed to seal the game by casting Fascination, making each player mill 75 cards and essentially emptying everyone's library.
