Summary
The game started off with all players establishing their board presence and ramping up their mana resources. The player with the Kozilek, The Great Distortion deck took an early lead with their powerful artifact ramp and successful deployment of their commander. However, it was the player with The Ur-Dragon deck who stole the show with their aggressive dragon tribal strategy, quickly filling the board with threatening creatures. The Lynde, Cheerful Tormentor player tried to keep up, but their curse-focused strategy didn't seem to be enough to turn the tide. The Galazeth Prismari player had a hard time establishing board presence and was unable to threaten the other players significantly. The game ended with the Kozilek player under heavy pressure from the Ur-Dragon's onslaught and unable to find a solution in time.
