Summary
The game started with each player showcasing their decks' strategies and potential win conditions. Cody, playing Urza, focused on control and combo strategy, while Logan, playing K'rrik, aimed for infinite combos. Justin, playing Lathril, aimed to overwhelm with his elf tribal deck, and Chandler, playing Chulane, aimed for a food chain combo. The game saw each player developing their boards and strategies, with Cody's Rhystic Study drawing him a lot of cards before being destroyed by Justin's Reclamation Sage. The game ended abruptly when Logan, having recast K'rrik, cast a Bolas's Citadel and revealed a Sensei's Divining Top from the top of his library, prompting the other players to concede.
