Summary

The game started with players developing their boards cautiously, deploying mana acceleration and early threats such as Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer and Survival of the Fittest. Tim, playing Animar, quickly set up card draw engines and ramp, while Kinnan on treasures also gained value early. The game escalated when one player executed a powerful combo involving Sacrificing Archivist of Oghma with Cabal Ritual and other spells, generating infinite one-one tokens. This combo was crucial as it allowed the player to mill opponents out using Altar of Dementia. Throughout the game, players reacted to each other's threats with counterspells like Swan Song and removal, but the infinite combo proved decisive. The game concluded with the player successfully executing the combo and winning through milling, showcasing the power of a well-timed infinite token generation and sacrifice loop.
