Gameplay Summary

The game started with all four players establishing their mana bases and early board presence, with Cammy on Kinnan generating potential infinite mana combos, Tyler on Sisay, Weatherlight Captain focusing on a five-color value and tutor strategy, Jon piloting a legends combo deck with Captain Sisay, and Dan controlling the board until he could deploy Tivit for late game value and control.

Early turns featured typical ramp and value plays, with Cammy quickly assembling mana rocks and creatures to enable her infinite mana engine involving Kinnan and Basalt Monolith. A key turning point occurred when Dan cast Toxic Deluge, clearing the board and disrupting the momentum of the aggressive mana combos.

Cammy's attempt to recast Kinnan was countered by Dan's Grim Monolith, further stalling her progress.

Meanwhile, Tyler and Jon focused on assembling their own value engines with cards like Mystic Remora, Rristic Study, and Blind Obedience to maintain card advantage and slow the pace.

Dan then pulled off a strong sequence using Demonic Consultation and Force of Will to protect his plays and maintain control, countering key spells from opponents.

Despite the heavy interaction and board wipes, the game remained a tense battle of value and control, with no immediate win secured by any player by the end of the recorded gameplay segment.
