Summary

The game began with both players developing their board states and slowly ramping mana. Nekusar, the Mindrazer focused on drawing multiple cards each turn to deal incremental damage to Temmet's life total, leveraging cards like Seasion Perverter of Truth and various damage triggers such as Razor Needle and Fate Unraveler to amplify the damage taken whenever an opponent draws cards. Temmet, Naktamun's Will, on the other hand, built up a board presence with zombies that grew stronger each time a card was drawn, synergizing well with Nekusar's wheel and draw effects. A key turning point occurred when Nekusar deployed multiple damage-dealing enchantments and creatures that punishingly triggered on draws, causing Temmet to lose significant life each upkeep. Temmet tried to stabilize with combat and board plays but was overwhelmed by the card draw damage and a large number of zombies buffed by Temmet's anthem effects. Eventually, Nekusar cast Windfall, forcing both players to discard and redraw hands equal to the greatest hand size, which resulted in a massive life loss to Temmet from Nekusar's commander damage triggers and other effects, ending the game.
