Summary

The game began with all four players successfully deploying their commanders early, setting the stage for a dynamic and high-stakes game. Ulalek focused on assembling a formidable Eldrazi army, while Bria built up a spell-slinging engine to fuel her prowess triggers. Raffine aimed to reanimate powerful creatures discarded by his connive triggers, and Smeagol sought to seize control of his opponents' lands while reanimating powerful creatures from their graveyards. However, Smeagol's landfall strategy was countered by Raffine's adept control plays. The turning point arrived when Raffine reanimated a Consecrated Sphinx, giving him significant card advantage. Smeagol attempted to regain control by casting Necromancy to reanimate his Sepulchral Primordial, but Raffine countered with An Offer You Can't Refuse. Despite a final push from Smeagol, Raffine's control and reanimation strategy ultimately prevailed.
