Gameplay Summary
The game kicked off with Elliot playing Rocco, Jim playing Jeska/Ishai, Tori playing Krarkashima, and Lua playing Winota.
The early game saw the players setting up their mana bases and casting their commanders.
Elliot started creating value with his Birthing Pod and Arena Rector, ultimately setting up for a combo finish.
Lua managed to put out considerable damage using Winota and her triggered ability.
However, it was Elliot's turn five that proved decisive.
He used Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker and Felidar Guardian to create an infinite number of Felidar Guardians, which he then used to attack and win the game.
