Summary

The game started off with each player developing their mana bases and casting their commanders. Extra, commanding Thalia and The Gitrog Monster, focused on ramp and landfall, making use of Lotus Cobra, Oracle of Mul Daya, and multiple landfall triggers. John, with Goro-Goro and Satoru, went for a combat-centric strategy, using Moon-Circuit Hacker and Loyal Apprentice to generate pressure. Sam, with Drana and Linvala, played control and card advantage, using cards like Gitaxian Probe and Deputy of Acquittals. Tom, commanding Katilda and Lier, swung for significant lifelink damage with Angel of Fatality and Lyra Dawnbringer. The turning point came when Extra successfully executed a massive landfall turn, triggering multiple ramp and landfall effects, and creating a vast army of creatures with Scoot Swarm. Despite John's efforts to block as much damage as possible, the Scoot Swarm proved overwhelming, leading to Sam's elimination and John's concession due to the overwhelming board state.
