Summary
In this high-powered match, Mike, piloting Zimone, Mystery Unraveler, took the early lead with a sequence of explosive turns that enabled him to bring out several powerful cards. He cleverly leveraged his deck's landfall mechanic to cheat substantial permanents into play, and exploited a combination of Hullbreaker Horror, Mana Crypt, and Sol Ring to generate infinite mana. This culminated in an overwhelming victory, with Mike casting Finale of Devastation for an incredible 100,000, which boosted all his cloaked creatures and gave them haste for a devastating attack. Despite the best efforts of the other players, none were able to effectively counter Mike's strategies, leading to his swift victory.
