Summary

The game began with all players focusing on building their board states, with Max's Sauron deck drawing early attention due to its fast setup. Max capitalized on the value generated by Sepulchral Primordial, which resulted in multiple reanimations and a massive board advantage. Kuzno remained a contender with Kiora and Scourge of the Fleets, but ultimately fell to Max's lethal commander damage. Despite Seb's attempt to control the board with Dragonlord Kolaghan and Vona, Butcher of Magan, Max's board state proved too overwhelming. The game ended with a convincing victory for Max after the activation of Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker, creating a copy of Coercive Recruiter and stealing all of Seb's creatures, leading to Seb's concession.
