Summary

The game started off with players setting up their respective game plans. Ethan, playing Jeska/Ishai, aimed to apply pressure with Ishai growing larger with each spell cast by opponents. Jason's Rocco deck focused on comboing Dockside Extortionist and Temur Sabertooth for infinite mana. Kevin's Najeela deck planned to generate mana during combat, taking extra combat steps until opponents were defeated. Kian, playing Kraum/Tymna, intended to grind out card advantage and win with Underworld Breach or Thassa's Oracle. The game saw several key interactions, including a Silence countered by Chance for Glory, which was then Swan Song-ed, and an imperial seal triggering a bird and an S for Sentinel. Kevin took a significant lead by generating a large amount of treasure tokens with Dockside Extortionist and then casting a Ranger Captain of Eos. The game ended with Ethan taking advantage of the accumulated value by casting Smothering Tithe, and then Jason triggering the Tithe multiple times with Sylvan Library, enabling Ethan to secure the win.
