Deck Strategies
Yargle and Multani
This deck seems to be focused on quickly pumping up Yargle with enchantments and swinging for lethal commander damage.
Thalia and The Gitrog Monster
This deck appears to be built around land recursion and value engines, but was unable to fully execute its plan in this game.
Omnath, Locus of All
This deck aims to take advantage of Omnath's ability to store mana and trigger multi-color effects. However, the game ended before this deck could build up its mana base.
Slimefoot and Squee
This deck appeared to aim for a ground-based strategy with a potential for sacrifice synergies. However, the game ended before this strategy could be fully realized.

Summary
The game started off with all players setting up their boards, with Jason playing Yargle and Multani, Matt playing Thalia and The Gitrog Monster, Brett playing Omnath, Locus of All, and Nate playing Slimefoot and Squee. The game suddenly took a serious turn when Jason enchanted Yargle with Demonic Embrace, making it a 21/1 flying demon, and further boosted it with Indomitable Might. This led to a quick succession of player eliminations. Matt tried to counter with a Dictate of Erebos, but Nate's Altar of Dementia was putrefied before it could make a significant impact. Meanwhile, Brett attempted to stall with a Worldly Tutor fetching Birds of Paradise, but it was not enough to withstand the onslaught from the supercharged Yargle, leading to Jason's victory.
