Summary
The game started off with each player setting up their mana base with various lands and mana artifacts. Nber on Extus brought the heat early with his Dockside Extortionist generating treasures. Ghost Stealers on Zur attempted to seize the advantage with a flurry of spells culminating in Ad Nauseam but fell short and was left vulnerable. Samurai on Malcolm/Kediss flooded the board with treasures using Dockside Extortionist and kept the card draw flowing with Consecrated Sphinx, while Hidden on Sisay played a more subdued game, focusing on developing his board with creatures and mana dorks. The game reached a turning point when Ghost Steelers attempted to win the game with an Angel's Grace into Ad Nauseam combo, but fell short due to a miscalculation. The game continued with players scrambling to respond to this near miss.
