Summary

The game began with Cameron piloting Obeka, Shelby wielding Hapatra, Chandler commanding Tevesh Szat/Nadier, and Ethan controlling Sythis. Early gameplay saw a steady build-up of resources and board presence, with each player setting up their strategies. Shelby's Hapatra and Chandler's Tevesh Szat/Nadier became early threats. However, the game's tide significantly shifted when Chandler cast 'Blood on the Snow', wiping the board and triggering multiple effects from Zulaport Cutthroat and Nadier. This play propelled Chandler into a commanding position, and his opponents were unable to recover. He then capitalized on his advantage by ultimating both his planeswalkers, effectively locking his opponents out of the game, prompting a concession from the table.
