Summary

The game began with a tense and strategic opening where players established their mana bases and early board presence, with key plays including the casting of Malcolm and Ristic Study to smooth card draws and ramp. Throughout the midgame, players juggled resource generation—such as Treasures and Clues—and carefully navigated counterspells and removal, exemplified by interactions involving Abrupt Decay, Swan Song, and Mental Misstep. The game featured a high level of interaction, with players attempting to disrupt each other's plans while slowly building towards their own win conditions. A pivotal moment involved the casting of Finale of Devastation and the arrival of Grand Abolisher, which shifted the tempo by limiting opponents' ability to respond during critical turns. Notion Thief was flashed in, threatening to steal card draw and adding pressure to the table. The Red Death player leveraged artifact synergies and mana acceleration to apply consistent pressure, while Atraxa's player utilized a combination of removal and efficient creatures to maintain board control. The game remained a grindy, back-and-forth affair with players carefully managing life totals and resources as they prepared for a decisive endgame push.
