Quick Summary & Highlights

Kroxa got off to a pretty a quick start, hitting the table for a couple of early Discard triggers on Turns 2 & 4. To avoid any further losses to discard, the rest of the table started putting together whatever board-state was possible.

As a result of Discard losses, Androo primarily had theft effects left in hand, using Agent of Treachery & Hostage Taker to steal creatures & a mana rock from Deve & Jozi's boards around Turns 6-7. To put it lightly, this activated some almonds and rustled some jimmies.

At this point, Kroxa had not hit the board again, and the table now saw Yarok as the arch-nemesis. From Turn 8 and on, the table started picking apart Androo's board state, and swinging into his face from a gradually opening board. Androo was knocked out around Turn 9-10 by Vanarp using a Flayer of the Hatebound trigger from Kroxa being reanimated.

A late game turning point was when Jozi played Prime Speaker Zegana while having an 8 power Eutropia the Twice-Favored and Reliquary Tower on board. Over the next few turns Jozi was able to knock out Vanarp using unblockable & buff-as-shit Prime Speaker & Eutropia.

At this point, Deve was able to blow up Jozi's Asceticism, and have one of his creatures fight Jozi's commander. In a board rebuild, Jozi used Slippery Bogbonder to place a Hexproof counter & move 10 counters from Zegana to an already growing Chasm Skulker, and swing in for near lethal using an unblockable Chasm Skulker, thanks to Thassa, God of the Sea. A late Cyclonic Rift a turn later forced Deve to rebuild

In a last-ditch Deve swung in with a 10/10 Voracious Hydra, top-decked an Overwhelming Stampede that turn to make it 20/20, and used an Unleash Fury to make it 40/40, which would have been blocked by Slippery Bogbonder. Jozi was packing a Miscast in his grip of cards, using it to counter Unleash Fury. Deve did not have enough damage to trample through, would take lethal next turn from swole Chasm Skulker and Prime-Speaker Zegana. It was gg from there
