Summary

The game started explosively with all players establishing strong board presence and ramping aggressively in the first few turns. Early plays included multiple mana rocks like Mana Crypt and Cloudstone Curio, and key combo enablers such as Dockside Extortionist and Ristic Study were cast quickly to generate card advantage. The game featured intense interaction, including counterspells and bounce effects to disrupt combo attempts. Levi's Thrasios and Ruric Thar deck aimed to generate infinite mana and card draw through Dockside loops and artifact recursion, while Jrock piloted a Minsc & Boo deck focused on generating treasure tokens and leveraging combat damage to combo off. Memo's Stella Lee deck pursued an aggressive combo approach, deploying Stella and using artifact synergies to establish early threats. Eli's Rograkh deck sought to build mana fast via sacrifices and recursion, aiming for a lethal Ad Nauseam or Thassa's Oracle finish. A pivotal moment came when Eli cast Thassa's Oracle with a fully exiled library, winning the game by decking out, after a series of tutors and mana acceleration spells set up a massive combo finish. Following this, the players reshuffled for a second game, continuing their high-level competitive gameplay.
