Summary

The game started with all players establishing their board states, with a slew of mana rocks and lands. Jason, playing Jin-Gitaxias, quickly ramped up his mana base, taking advantage of Urza's Saga and several other artifacts. Eddie, playing Omnath, also had a strong start, ramping up his mana and playing his commander early. The board state shifted significantly when Eddie cast a Bane of Progress, wiping out all artifacts and enchantments, greatly impacting Jason's board state. Following the wipe, the game shifted in favor of Eddie, who took advantage of his creatures and Omnath's abilities. Despite a valiant effort from the other players, Eddie's board state and consistent damage output proved too much to handle.
