    Emet-Selch’s use of Grinding Station alongside fast mana sources like Ancient Tomb enabled a powerful infinite mana combo that pressured opponents to interact quickly or face a lockout.

Summary

The game opened with aggressive early plays from multiple players aiming to establish fast mana and board presence. The Narset, Jeskai Waymaster player focused on setting up a turbo Jeskai storm strategy, leveraging incremental draw and mana acceleration with cards like Soul Ring and the One Ring to fuel Narset’s powerful ability to replay spells and draw through their deck. Meanwhile, Hashaton, Scarab's Fist piloted a fast Esper Turbo Ad Nauseam reanimator deck, attempting to quickly generate a large hand and board state using discard outlets and reanimation to overwhelm opponents. Emet-Selch, Unsundered took advantage of Ancient Tomb and other fast mana sources to deploy graveyard synergies and lock pieces such as Grinding Station, aiming for a combo finish. Malcolm, Keen-Eyed Navigator and Vial Smasher the Fierce also contributed aggressive tempo and damage with incremental treasure generation and efficient creatures. Key turning points included the Narset player managing to maintain card advantage through incremental draw and interaction despite an initially slow start, while Hashaton's discard and reanimation synergy threatened to rapidly escalate the board state. Emet-Selch’s Grinding Station combo presented a significant threat, forcing opponents to respond quickly or lose to infinite mana and recursion loops. The interactions among these decks created a tense dynamic where players balanced between advancing their combos and disrupting others. The game’s win conditions centered on storming off with Narset’s infinite draws, Ad Nauseam’s lethal hand size and reanimation, and Emet-Selch’s recursive combo lock, with Malcolm and Vial Smasher providing aggressive early pressure and incremental damage to close out the game once the combos were established or disrupted.
