Summary

The game began with each player establishing their board, with John playing Aragorn, the Uniter, Hidden playing Shorikai, Genesis Engine, Caitlyn playing Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow, and Sam playing Tasigur, the Golden Fang. The first major turning point occurred when John attempted to cast Food Chain, which was countered by Hidden's Swan Song. Caitlyn's Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow, generated significant value by revealing high-cost cards, while Sam built up a defensive position with Tasigur, milling key pieces into his graveyard. However, the game ended abruptly when Sam managed to assemble an infinite mana combo using Devoted Druid and Moxo, allowing him to mill his entire library with Tasigur and eventually extort out the table for the win.
