Sisay aims to fetch legendary creatures and artifacts to build a toolbox style board presence, leveraging synergy from legendary permanents and artifact combos to control the game and win through incremental advantage or combos.
Vivi Ornitier
Vivi focuses on artifact synergy and mana acceleration to assemble powerful combos quickly, often using mana rocks and artifact recursion to fuel spells and win conditions.
Emet-Selch of the Third Seat
Emet-Selch leverages graveyard interactions and combo enablers like Demonic Consultation to exile their deck and win through Thassa's Oracle or similar combo finishers, emphasizing efficient tutoring and disruption.
Golbez, Crystal Collector
Golbez utilizes artifact ramp, mana rocks, and disruption to control the board state while assembling artifact-based combos, often using equipment and artifact synergies to outvalue opponents.

Gameplay Summary
The game opened with each player setting up their mana base and initial ramp pieces, including Soul Ring, Paradise Mantle, and various talismans and signets.
Early turns saw players developing their board states cautiously, with some minor disruption such as Embereth Blaze being used to kill a key mana dork.
The game tempo was slow at first, with players drawing and digging for critical combo or synergy pieces.
A pivotal moment arrived when one player attempted a Demonic Consultation combo, aiming to exile their deck to find a win condition through Thassa's Oracle.
Despite a small mana shortfall initially, the combo resolved over two turns, and the Oracle was cast safely with no counters from opponents, leading to a quick and decisive victory.
Throughout the game, players also made use of artifact synergies, such as casting Besieged the Mirror and leveraging Mystic Forge interactions, but the Demonic Consultation plus Oracle combo was the ultimate game finisher.
