Summary

The game began with all four decks establishing their board states and ramping mana quickly. Diogo on Tymna & Dargo set up a strong early mana base and cast a powerful Damn! board wipe to clear the field, setting back opponents Dante (Simic Doom Tree) and Baal (Jhoira storm) significantly. Rodrigo's Beamtown Bullies deck ramped aggressively with Dockside Extortionist, creating multiple treasures and applying pressure with his commander and other creatures. Diogo attempted to establish combo loops with Dargo and Dockside Extortionist, but Dante cleverly disrupted a key Dockside loop with a bounce spell, buying time for the table. Rodrigo leveraged Entomb and Leveler to exile Diogo's library, forcing him to rely on milling opponents with Altar of Dementia, though Baal managed to save the game from a lethal mill with a Pact of Negation. Meanwhile, Baal tried to storm off with Jhoira using card draw engines like Paradoxical Outcome but struggled to find the right combo pieces to close out the game. Dante used Fight Rigging to exile Sakashima and cast him later for blockers and incremental advantage, but was mana constrained. Rodrigo continued pressuring with treasures and board presence, while Diogo sought to rebuild his combo with tutors and recursion. The game featured multiple pivotal moments including Diogo's Damn! board wipe, Rodrigo's Entomb into Leveler library exile, and Baal's Pact of Negation negating a lethal mill. All players demonstrated complex interactions and resource management in a high-stakes multiplayer environment.
