Summary

The gameplay was intense with a slew of spells and creatures being cast and a myriad of strategies being played out. Early in the game, players were building their boards and setting up their strategies with Inalla focusing on Wizard synergies, Gorion aiming for adventure-themed plays, Trostani generating value from tokens, and Selenia playing a life manipulation strategy. A pivotal moment in the game occurred when Max playing Inalla, Archmage Ritualist triggered a massive mill using a kicked Maddening Cacophony, forcing each player to mill half their libraries. Later, he flipped Eric's Primal Surge with Chaos Wand, resulting in a massive cascade of spells and creatures. Despite the chaotic turn of events, the game concluded in Max's favor.
