Summary

The game started with all four players setting up their board states cautiously, each developing mana and drawing cards to establish their strategies. Rev, Tithe Extractor began with typical stax and control elements, while Rograkh, Son of Rohgahh and Niv-Mizzet, Visionary ramped into their respective combos and draw engines. Storm, Force of Nature, focused on assembling the infamous Doomsday combo, quickly acquiring key pieces like Bola Citadel and executing a Wheel of Misfortune to disrupt opponents' hands and refuel their own. A pivotal moment came when the Storm player successfully performed a Doomsday pile and followed up with powerful card draw spells, including a massive draw with Chrome Mox and Dark Rituals, setting the stage for a lethal sequence.
