Summary
The game started intensely with all players developing their boards. Fernando with Talion, the Kindly Lord, had an explosive start laying down multiple mana rocks and casting his commander early. Hidden with Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy, managed to cast a Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur, drawing a bunch of cards and forcing the other players to discard their hands. However, Jordan piloting Teferi, Temporal Archmage, managed to bounce the Jin-Gitaxias with a Chain of Vapor. This set up Jordan to combo off by creating infinite colorless mana with Power Artifact and Basalt Monolith, followed by dropping several mana rocks and a Sensei's Divining Top. He then cast Teferi, using its -1 ability to untap lands and continue the infinite mana combo. He was able to draw his entire deck and win the game by continuously casting Ugin and bolting the table to death.
