Summary
The game started with players developing their boards and casting their commanders. A key turning point came when Shawn casted Phantasmal Image copying Orcish Bowmasters, killing Ryan's Bowmasters and amassing an Orc army. This was followed by a series of plays involving the One Ring, which allowed Shawn to continuously draw cards and add counters. Zeb attempted to disrupt this with his own Orcish Bowmasters, but was ultimately unsuccessful. Shawn managed to generate infinite mana by repeatedly bouncing and recasting Mox Opal and Mox Amber with the help of Tide Spout Tyrant. He then used Thrasios' ability to draw his entire deck and win the game with Thassa's Oracle.
