The game began with a typical slow setup phase as players developed mana and laid down early creatures and utility artifacts.

Key plays included early ramp spells like Mox Diamond, Jeweled Lotus, and Dark Ritual to accelerate into powerful spells.

Yuriko's player focused on a mid-range strategy grinding value and slowly chipping away at opponents through evasive combat damage, while Korvold's player leveraged treasures generated by Dockside Extortionist and the sacrifice synergies to build an overwhelming board presence.

Najeela's deck applied steady pressure with aggressive combat steps, aiming to dominate through combat damage.

Bruse and Ikra Shidiqi’s player aimed to gain life and grind out resources, using Ad Nauseam and life gain engines to keep pace and set up for a big finish. A pivotal moment came when Korvold was successfully cast after generating multiple treasures and drawing cards off Dockside Extortionist, enabling a cascade of sacrifice and card advantage effects.

The opponent responded with counterspells and disruption, including Spell Pierce and Force of Will, which slowed down the combo attempts.

Yuriko’s player continued to apply pressure with repeated unblockable strikes, triggering their commander’s ability to draw cards and further fuel their strategy.

The game featured intense interaction around key combo pieces like Tainted Pact, Vampiric Tutor, and Corpse Dance, with players using counterspells and protection spells like Autumn's Veil to preserve their plans.

The game highlighted the complex interplay of mid-range strategies with combo elements, with players carefully balancing aggression, resource denial, and combo setup to edge toward victory.
