Summary
The game started off with all players quickly ramping and setting up their board states. Aaron with Dargo & Tymna had an impressive opening turn with a mana crypt, mox amber, and smothering tithe, setting up a strong economy for the game. In response, Eliot cast a Reclamation Sage, targeting one of Aaron's treasures in an attempt to limit his advantage. However, the tide turned when Aaron cast a Wheel of Fortune, causing all players to discard their hands and draw seven new cards, further fueling his smothering tithe. Jim and Alex developed their boards more slowly, but Alex was finally able to cast his commander, Godo, Bandit Warlord, triggering an ETB that fetched Helm of the Host from his deck. Alex then cast Magnetic Theft to attach the Helm to Godo, creating an infinite combo of attacking Godo copies and securing his victory.
