Gameplay Summary

The game began with each player setting up their early board states, with Jan establishing a control presence by casting Lantern of Insight and Crafters' Cage, aiming to disrupt opponents' draws and strategies.

Jim developed his mana with ramp cards like Fellwar Stone and Soul Ring while playing a more controlling Grand Arbiter deck.

Jerry, piloting Breya, Etherium Shaper, looked for combo pieces and value plays, while Eliot on Godo, Bandit Warlord, aimed to assemble a Helm combo.

As the turns progressed, Jan used Circu, Dimir Lobotomist's ability to exile key cards and lock down the game state, while Eliot fetched lands and played ramp artifacts to accelerate his combo plan.

The game came to a swift conclusion when Jerry utilized an unexpected Demonic Consultation naming a card to exile his entire library, effectively decking himself and ending the game abruptly in a surprising manner.
