Summary

The game kicked off with all players steadily developing their mana bases. Sam, piloting 'Loot, the Key to Everything', took the lead early on with a powerful ramp sequence involving 'Tireless Provisioner' and 'Lotus Cobra'. However, the table dynamics shifted dramatically when Tom, playing 'The Gitrog, Ravenous Ride', unleashed a flurry of ramp spells and synergistic creature effects to draw a massive amount of cards and flood the board with lands. Extra, playing 'Eriette, the Beguiler', attempted to disrupt Tom's plans by stealing key artifacts and enchanting his commander for protection, while John, running 'Pantlaza, Sun-Favored', tried to set up a winning combo with 'Felidar Guardian'. Despite their efforts, Tom's Gitrog proved unstoppable. In the final turns of the game, Tom leveraged his massive card advantage and land count to eliminate all opponents, with 'Op Nixus, the Fallen' delivering the finishing blow.
