Summary

The game began with all players setting up their manabases and ramping where possible. Agatha and Korvold were the first commanders on the battlefield, while Jon, piloting Syr Ginger, managed to ramp and draw cards effectively with a sacrifice engine. Tom, with Will, Scion of Peace, was able to control the board state by denying Jon's key cards with counterspells. However, Jon managed to establish a loop with his artifacts and Syr Ginger, ultimately resulting in infinite mana and drawing his entire deck. Despite attempts to disrupt his combo, Jon used Aria's Tempting Apple to secure the win.
