Steven showed a unique approach with his Toggo and Glacian deck, creating a defensive line with rocks, while Justin established a threatening board presence with Olivia, Mobilized for War and his Phoenix tribal deck. Jeremy carefully controlled the board state using Nevinyrral, Urborg Tyrant and a superfriends strategy. The turning point came when Justin managed to generate a massive amount of mana and cast a game-changing Comet Storm, decimating his opponents' life totals. Despite the valiant efforts of the rest of the players, Justin's strategic plays and effective use of his Phoenix tribal deck won the day.
