Summary

The game began with all players setting up their boards cautiously, with early plays of mana acceleration and key creatures like Noble Hierarch, Phantasmal Image, and Goblin Welder. Tyler's Jeska/Dargo deck applied pressure with aggressive creatures and equipment, while Kyle's Narset deck focused on extra turns and value spells. Dylan's Tymna/Tana deck generated tokens and drew cards through combat damage, aiming to build board presence and maintain card advantage. Early interaction included Cass Magus of the Moon disrupting non-basic lands, impacting the mana bases and slowing some players. A critical turning point occurred when Kyle cast Time Stretch, gaining multiple extra turns and casting powerful spells like Smothering Tithe and Manic Crypt from exile. He leveraged this to assemble a combo with Grim Monolith and Aggravated Assault, enabling multiple combat phases and massive life gain with Aetherflux Reservoir. Despite the slow pace, Kyle's deck aimed to win through a storm-like sequence of spells combined with extra combat phases. Meanwhile, Tyler's Jeska threatened lethal commander damage, forcing others to leave blockers up and play defensively. The game evolved into a tension-filled standoff, with Kyle working toward a massive combo finish while others tried to disrupt or race him.
