Summary

The game featured a high-speed, combo-oriented environment with five players piloting distinct decks ranging from turbo combos to midrange strategies. Early turns saw Omnath, Locus of Creation and Rograkh, Son of Rohgahh quickly establishing their board presence while Oskar, Rubbish Reclaimer leveraged fast mana artifacts like Mox Diamond, Lotus Petal, and Ancient Tomb to ramp aggressively. The pivotal moment came when the player controlling Omnath managed to assemble infinite mana and storm count using treasure generation and blink effects, notably with the help of Final Devastation and Eternal Witness, enabling a massive storm finish that cleared the board and secured victory. Attempts at interaction and disruption were limited due to the speed of the turbo decks, leading to a race that few could keep up with.
