Summary

The game began with each player establishing their mana base and early board presence, with key ramp plays such as Jeweled Lotus and Gaea's Cradle accelerating their strategies. Hélder, piloting a Kenrith Maze's End build, leveraged Amulet of Vigor and Hermit Druid to advance his combo potential, while Diogo developed a robust mana engine with Priest of Titania and Circle of Dreams Druid alongside Ashaya, Soul of the Wild. David's Jorn, God of Winter deck focused on snow permanents and stax elements like Tangle Wire and Mystic Remora to disrupt opponents and generate tempo, while Baal’s Grenzo deck used early ramp and Opposition Agent to control tutors and slow opponents' plans. A pivotal moment occurred when Baal attempted a Culling Ritual lock with Maralen of the Mornsong, only to be countered by a Silence spell from Hélder, severely crippling Baal's strategy. David then capitalized on his snow permanents and ramp to execute a turn 5 combo involving Animate Dead, Thassa’s Oracle, and Demonic Consultation, winning the game by exiling his deck and fulfilling the Consultation condition. The game showcased a mix of fast combo turns, interaction-heavy play, and key disruption spells that shaped the flow and outcome of the match.
