  The infinite mana loop involving Muldrotha, Lion’s Eye Diamond, Animate Dead, and Phantasmal Image showcased high-level synergy and recursion exploitation to draw out the entire deck.

Summary

The game began with Baal starting aggressively, casting Deafening Silence to suppress David's Muldrotha deck, while Hélder on Malcolm & Kediss struggled with a slow land draw but managed to generate treasures to ramp. David patiently built his board with Mystic Remora and Seal of Primordium to maintain card advantage and control. Leite on Tymna & Kraum deployed Drannith Magistrate early to disrupt opponents' tutoring, supported by Kambal to punish spell-heavy plays. The game featured significant interaction around taxing effects and counterspells, with Mystic Remora proving to be a persistent source of card draw. A pivotal moment occurred when David successfully cast Opposition Agent, revealing Leite’s hand and enabling a powerful Dockside Extortionist play that generated a large treasure advantage. Later, David leveraged Notion Thief to steal a Windfall draw, netting an overwhelming card advantage that set the stage for a devastating combo. Utilizing Muldrotha's recursion alongside Lion's Eye Diamond and Phantasmal Image, David created an infinite mana loop, drawing his entire deck and casting Thassa’s Oracle to win the game. Turn order and precise timing allowed David to overcome multiple Silence effects and secure victory through intricate graveyard and mana interactions.
