Summary

The game started off with each player setting up their board states and ramping their mana. Notably, Finale of Devastation was cast for 12, indicating a potential game-changing play. However, the specific creature searched for isn't clear from the transcript. As the game progressed, players continued to build up their resources and strategize. In the mid-game, there was an instance of Realms Uncharted being used to fetch multiple lands, providing a substantial advantage in mana availability. Unfortunately, the final turns and endgame scenario aren't clear from the transcript.
