Deck Strategies
Ukkima, Stalking Shadow / Cazur, Ruthless Stalker
This deck combines Oracle consult lines with a classic Food Chain loop, using Ukkima's leaves-the-battlefield trigger to drain opponents once it has made infinite mana with Food Chain.
Godo, Bandit Warlord
This deck races to 11 mana to cast Godo, search up Helm of the Host, and equip it to Godo to get infinite combat steps and infinite Godos.
Thrasios, Triton Hero / Bruse Tarl, Boorish Herder
This deck controls the board with hatebears and a lot of interaction, aiming to win through creature combat.
Urza, Lord High Artificer
A mono-blue control deck that finishes the game with an infinite mana combo involving Hullbreaker Horror and a pair of zero-drop artifacts.

Summary
The game started off with all players setting up their boards and resources. Timmy, playing Godo, managed to get an early advantage by casting Godo and equipping it with Hammer of Nazan, but was soon disrupted by Michael's Chain of Vapor. Michael later gained control of Jim's Hullbreaker Horror through his Gilded Drake, leaving Jim to rebuild his defenses. Nick, playing Ukkima/Cazur, attempted to set up a Food Chain combo but was wary of Jim's Ristic Study. The game reached a turning point when Timmy managed to cast Godo again, this time successfully equipping it with Helm of the Host, enabling him to create an infinite loop for a game-winning combo.
