Summary

The game began with all players establishing their mana bases and early board presence, with Pedro's aggressive Isshin deck focusing on equipping creatures to double combat triggers and generate value through attacking. Jared's Jodah deck aimed to cast legendary creatures and use cascade effects to chain more powerful legendary spells, while the Jetmir player focused on token generation and wide board presence. Ailee's Aminatou deck utilized flicker and enter-the-battlefield effects to control the board and create value. Key turning points included Pedro casting Isshin and rapidly generating gold tokens with Curse of Opulence, which he sacrificed to ramp into impactful artifacts. Meanwhile, the Jetmir player leveraged token doubling effects like Anointed Procession and Second Harvest to flood the board with tokens, eventually casting Jetmir to capitalize on their wide army. Aminatou's flicker interactions briefly stole powerful creatures but couldn’t stabilize long-term. Jared's cascade into King Darian added pressure, but he couldn’t keep up with the overwhelming token presence. Ultimately, the Jetmir deck's token swarm and efficient combat damage closed out the game by eliminating Aminatou first and then splitting damage to the remaining opponents, securing a decisive victory.
