Summary

The game began with all players establishing their mana bases and early board presence, with notable early plays including the casting of commanders like Rograkh and Najeela, the Blade-Blossom. The Clue Farm deck piloted by Jrock focused on generating treasures and gaining card advantage through combo pieces like Dockside Extortionist and Cloudstone Curio. Eli’s Najeela deck aggressively created token armies, swinging with multiple warriors and drawing cards off combat triggers. Levi's Fifteenth Doctor and Sarah Jane deck aimed to leverage Underworld Breach and ETB triggers to fill the graveyard and enable early combos. The interaction between these decks led to a dynamic board state with heavy counterspell usage and combat exchanges. A critical turning point occurred when Eli’s Najeela overwhelmed Levi with tokens and card draw, forcing Levi to attempt a desperate tutor search for an answer but ultimately led to Levi's elimination. Following this, Jrock further developed his treasure generation and locked down the board with Grand Abolisher, setting up a winning sequence with Thassa’s Oracle and Demonic Consultation to exile his library and win on devotion to blue.
