Gameplay Summary

The game started off with Maximus, Mackenzie, and Mika setting up their boards while trying to control the pace of the game.

A key turning point was when Maximus cast 'All is Dust', forcing the others to sacrifice most of their boards.

Mika's 'Necrogen Mists' and 'Migrim' combo forced the others to discard cards during their upkeeps, dealing damage in the process.

The game ended with a major play from Mackenzie: casting a 'High Tide' and 'Relearn', getting back 'Capsize', and using it with buyback to bounce Mika's 'Curse of Fool's Wisdom'.

This allowed Mackenzie to remove the major threat and take control of the game, ultimately leading to his victory.
