Summary

The game started with all players setting up their mana bases and casting their commanders. Tom, with Gonti, Night Minister, established early board presence by consistently applying pressure on opponents and using Gonti's ability to steal cards. Sam, wielding Lathril, Blade of the Elves, went on a casting spree, ramping and building an army of elves. However, a crucial board wipe by John, playing Krenko, Mob Boss, eliminated Sam and shifted the game in favor of John and Tom. John further ramped up the aggression with Krenko, but Tom managed to keep him in check using stolen spells. Eventually, Tom's advantage in card advantage and resources overwhelmed both John and the last player, Extra, who was playing Ketramose, the New Dawn. This led to Tom's victory.
