Summary

This game saw a strong start from the Kozilek, Butcher of Truth player, quickly assembling Tron lands and casting their commander. They pressed their advantage with a swing towards the Kagha, Shadow Archdruid player, dealing a crippling Annihilator 4 attack. The Ratadrabik of Urborg player faced mana problems, unable to draw into white mana to fully utilise their reanimator strategy. The game took a turn when the Imoti, Celebrant of Bounty player cast Sublime Epiphany, countering the casting of a potentially devastating Void Winnower and bouncing Kozilek back to hand, effectively stalling the Kozilek player's momentum.
