Summary

The game started off with players building up their boards and setting up their strategies. Extra, playing Etali, Primal Conqueror // Etali, Primal Sickness, managed to ramp quickly and establish a strong board presence. A pivotal moment occurred when Extra cast his commander, Etali, and triggered its ability to exile cards from the top of each player's library, allowing him to cast several impactful spells. This drastically shifted the game tempo in favor of Extra. Despite efforts from the other players to stabilize, Extra continued to build momentum and apply pressure on the board. Finally, Extra transformed Etali into a faux Blightsteel Colossus and used Breath of Fury and Gingerbrute to initiate multiple combat phases, leading to his victory.
