Summary

The game began with each player establishing their mana base and early board presence, with Atraxa setting up Mystic Remora to tax opponents' spells. Thrasios leveraged ramp and card draw engines like Sensei's Divining Top and Mana Crypt to accelerate into powerful plays. Kaalia quickly established pressure through aggressive creature deployment and disruption, while Heliod focused on ramp and interaction to stabilize the board. As the game progressed, Rograkh and Thrasios assembled a Food Chain combo, generating infinite colored mana by repeatedly sacrificing and recasting creatures. This combo enabled casting Atraxa repeatedly, drawing the game to a close. A pivotal moment was the combo activation by Thrasios' player, which quickly ended the game after establishing infinite mana and casting key spells to control the board and win decisively.
