Summary

The game started off with a typical pace as each player began developing their boards. Extra, with his Tatyova deck, managed to ramp up quickly using landfall triggers from his commander and cards like Courser of Kruphix, Explorer and Nature’s Lore. Mai, piloting Ayesha Tanaka, focused on artifact synergies, equipping his commander with Black Blade Reforged and later Basilisk Collar for life gain and lethal damage. Grape's Bladewing deck showed its reanimator strategy, casting cards like Millikent, Fell Stinger, and his commander, but was disrupted by Country's path to exile. Country's Ratadrabik deck used a life-drain strategy with Sir Conrad the Grim and Karlov, eventually finding its win condition with Yahenni. A pivotal moment was when Grape's Cemetery Reaper was countered by Mai's Negate, preventing a significant shift in board state. Ultimately, Country managed to secure the win leveraging a combination of Conrad, two Taser Karlovs, and Yahenni.
