Summary

The game kicked off with players building their boards and ramping up, with John's Rakdos, Lord of Riots deck ramping with cards like Rakdos Signet and Solemn Simulacrum. Sam's Krenko, Mob Boss deck kept the pressure with a swarm of goblins, however, a timely Abrade from Extra's Niv-Mizzet, Parun deck took out Krenko. John capitalized on the weakened field, successfully casting Rakdos and stormfist Crusader, and using the damage dealt to cast more creatures at a discount. This strategy led to Extra's elimination. Tom's Bruvac the Grandiloquent deck, meanwhile, focused on milling opponents with Persistent Petitioners but struggled to keep up with the aggressive game. John continued to dominate the field, eliminating Sam next. Tom tried to mount a comeback with more Persistent Petitioners, but John's board was too overwhelming, leading to Tom's eventual concession and John's victory.
