Summary
The game saw an intense level of control from David, playing Sorin of House Markov, who managed to dominate the board with his Orzhov list, packing several on-color combos and extorting synergies. Baal, piloting Ashling, Flame Dancer, made a notable attempt to control the board with his storming mono red deck and wheel effects. However, the game took a surprising turn when Hélder, playing Rosheen, Roaring Prophet, managed to generate infinite treasures using a loop with Temur Sabertooth and Dockside Extortionist. He then leveraged this infinite mana to cast a game-ending Comet Storm.
