Summary
The game kicks off with each player building their board state. AR, playing Malik, begins to utilize Malik's sacrifice ability to create a stream of treasure tokens. Matt's War Doctor and Clara partnership proves strong, with Matt generating significant value through casting and recurring Dockside Extortionist, but AR's Malik manages to remove key creatures. Jon, running Rona, leverages his artifact synergy and auto-generator to build a massive mana pool and field potent threats like Planar Bridge and Darksteel Forge. However, it's Matt's turn with Tibalt, Cosmic Impostor that swings the game in his favor. He exiles each player's top card, adding more counters to the War Doctor, and sends a significant attack at AR. The game concludes before the final moves are made.
