Summary

The game started with players setting up their mana bases and early plays, including artifact ramp like Mana Crypt and Arcane Signet. Early turns involved some slow development and interaction, with players carefully navigating their hands and mana resources. A key moment came when one player began assembling a combo involving a Grinding Station and artifact mana sources, notably Landslide Diamond and Wishclaw Talisman, to generate infinite mana and draw through their deck. Despite some disruption attempts, the combo player successfully resolved their infinite loop and deployed a key artifact, Ashnod's Bridge, to finish the game by draining opponents' life totals. The presence of Deflecting Swat and other control elements made it challenging to execute combos, but ultimately the combo deck prevailed through efficient resource management and well-timed activation of their infinite engine.
