Summary

The game kicked off with a balance of power between all players. Ob Nixilis, played by the host, managed to equip the Sword of the Animist onto Disciple of the Vault, leading to some early damage. Cadric made his appearance early in the game, but the board state was shaken up significantly by Max's Chain Reaction, wiping out a large portion of the field. Felix's Elesh Norn caused restrictions for the others, but Max's Inferno Titan and KiKi-Jiki combo, though initially hampered by Elesh Norn, eventually broke through. Felix's Urza's Ruinous Blast also swept the board significantly. Max's Sauron and the copied Inferno Titan continued to put pressure on the game, but Felix's chump block strategy managed to hold it off. The game ended without a clear winner being identified.
