Summary

The game featured a duel between Greasefang, Okiba Boss, a Jund reanimator deck, and Slimefoot & Squee, a Jund midrange deck with a heavy focus on graveyard and token synergies. Early on, Greasefang's player used discard spells and removal to disrupt Slimefoot's hand and board presence, while assembling an army of tokens and creatures. A pivotal moment occurred when Greasefang created an infinite token loop with a sacrifice outlet, generating a large board state that pressured Slimefoot's life total significantly. Despite Slimefoot's attempts to stabilize and apply pressure with aggressive token production and life gain, Greasefang maintained dominance through graveyard recursion and powerful vehicles like the Gunship and Raging Ravine. The game came down to tight combat math, with Slimefoot needing to find specific hasty attackers or removal to survive the onslaught, but Greasefang's resilience and synergy ultimately prevailed.
