Summary
The game began with both players struggling to find a smooth early start, particularly the Mistform Ultimus player who mulled aggressively and grappled with land drops. Omnath, Locus of Mana quickly established a ramp-heavy board state, accumulating multiple lands and leveraging green mana advantages to grow in strength. Mistform Ultimus, despite a rough start, managed to deploy several Lords and pump spells, creating a formidable board presence by mid-game. The Mistform player also utilized cards like Paragon of the Gallery to grant additional abilities and improve the combat effectiveness of their creatures. As the game progressed, Mistform Ultimus attempted to leverage synergy between elemental lords, adaptive otamatone, and other support spells to gain a lethal advantage. Omnath's resilience through ramp and hexproof from Sign of Oona slowed down the Mistform's aggression but ultimately couldn't withstand the growing elemental horde. The Mistform player set up a strong offensive that forced Omnath to concede, as the growing board state with multiple pumped creatures and evasive threats became overwhelming. The game ended with Mistform Ultimus securing a victory after executing a powerful, synergistic elemental assault.
