Summary

The game commenced with each player advancing their respective strategies. The Obeka player sought to cheat out big creatures and clone them for heavy damage, leaning on end-step and ETB triggers. An early Faithless Looting set up a potential Animate Dead play, but Rakdos' Planar Chaos made it a risky proposition. The gamble didn't pay off, and Animate Dead fizzled. The Obeka player recovered, leveraging the additional draws from Rakdos' Howling Mine and building a strong board presence with Cursed Mirror and Professional Facebreaker, generating treasure tokens for advantage. Meanwhile, the Rakdos player posed a potential threat with Revel in Riches, a one-card win condition, while Rocco focused on Elf tribal synergies to expand their board presence. Koma played a slower, ramp-based game, setting up future plays with Worldly Tutor and Whisper Silk Cloak.
