Summary

The game started with basic land plays and ramp artifacts. Extra managed to gain an early advantage with his commander, Nicanzil, Current Conductor, and Realm Walker, generating value and board presence. Sam's pirate-themed deck with Admiral Brass, Unsinkable, managed to steal a few creatures from John, but was unable to secure a strong position. John's deck, led by Sovereign Okinec Ahau, generated a significant amount of 1/1 counters, but was unable to effectively protect itself from attacks. Tom, playing Wayta, Trainer Prodigy, had difficulty keeping pace with the game but managed to stay alive till the end. However, Extra's deck finally overwhelmed the board with a horde of 4/4 beasts, and secured the win.
