Summary

The game began with a relatively slow setup from all players, with typical early land drops and minor board presence development. The Yuriko player leveraged ninjutsu and repeated scrying with Fairy Seer to control the top of their deck and execute multiple ninja attacks, triggering Yuriko's ability to reveal high-impact cards like Temporal Trespass and Jace, the Mind Sculptor. Early damage from Yuriko quickly escalated, eliminating Ryan's deck piloted by Oloro after a well-timed double reveal of Temporal Trespass and Murderous Cut in one attack phase. Meanwhile, Lord Windgrace focused on ramp and board control but was disrupted by a clever use of Cyclonic Rift commandeered by Yuriko's pilot to bounce Lord Windgrace back to hand. Aminatou's deck, featuring efficient removal and value creatures, was pressured by the aggressive ninja strategy but maintained a presence with cards like Panharmonicon and Soulherder. The game ended swiftly when Yuriko's player used Vampiric Tutor to set up a winning top-deck of Commit to Memory after a lethal ninja strike, showcasing the deck's ability to chain card advantage and damage for a quick finish.
