Gameplay Summary

The game began with all four players ramping aggressively and setting up their key engines.

Kozilek utilized Mishra's Workshop and artifact mana to establish a strong board presence early, including casting Karn Liberated and setting up Sensei's Divining Top for card selection.

Karona, piloted by Jay, aimed to leverage powerful spells like Windfall alongside Dream Halls for combo potential, but was disrupted by Mindbreak Trap from Breya.

Breya focused on accruing incremental advantage through cards like Mystic Remora and Smothering Tithe, while also deploying disruption such as Drannith Magistrate to slow opponents and aiming for infinite mana combos.

Sidisi utilized graveyard synergies and Necropotence to draw heavily and generate resources, attempting fast wins through Hermit Druid or other combos, though his key win attempt was disrupted by Swan Song and counterspells from opponents.

The game featured significant interaction around tutors, counterspells, and disruption, with players responding carefully to each other's win attempts.
