Summary
The game started with each player developing their mana bases and strategies, with notable plays such as Jason's Thrasios/Tymna deck casting Dark Ritual and Tymna, Logan's Prosper deck casting Demonic Tutor, and Matt's Winota deck making early aggressive plays with Imperial Recruiter and subsequently casting Winota herself. Cameron's Ikra/Tymna deck developed its board with a Mox Diamond and a Grim Monolith, leading to a Smothering Tithe, setting up a potential advantage in later turns. However, Matt's Winota deck had a massive turn with multiple Winota triggers, dealing significant damage to the other players. The game reached a climax when Logan's Prosper deck attempted to cast Doomsday, only to be countered by Jason's Thrasios/Tymna deck. Matt continued to press the attack with Winota, resulting in a massive swing, which Cameron responded to by casting Angel's Grace, effectively saving himself from death.
