Summary
In a high-octane showdown, the game kicked off with a stunning turn-one win by Tad, piloting Rograkh and Silas Renn. Leveraging a powerful mana generation combo, Tad was able to execute a storm-style combo, culminating in casting Thassa's Oracle with an empty library. In the second game, all players exhibited strong starts, but were kept in check by effective interaction and disruption from each other. Despite the intense counterplay, the match ended without a clear winner due to the truncation of the transcript.
