Summary

The game began with players developing their mana bases and setting up early board presence, including casting utility creatures like Cloud of Fairies and Ranger-Captain of Eos. Initial turns involved cautious plays and incremental card advantage, with some players using cards like Mana Confluence and Cavern of Souls to stabilize their board states. As the game progressed, one player managed to assemble a powerful combo involving Derevi, Empyrial Tactician, and Manavault, leveraging the interaction between these permanents to generate infinite colorless mana by repeatedly blinking Derevi and untapping Manavault. This combo allowed the player to untap all lands and permanents infinitely, effectively locking the game and leading to a decisive victory. The other players were unable to disrupt this sequence, marking a clear turning point and ending the game soon after the combo was established.
