People should really pay attention in a matchup like this to basics. There was an opportunity in game 1 where Seb could have used a field of ruin in response to a lotus field trigger while Mengu had his only basic already on the battlefield. This would have destroyed one of the lotus fields.
Lotus field almost always only ever runs a single basic land.

Many run 2 specifically for this interaction

In min 7:22 i think mengucci could take ultimatum, and go just for 2 bala recoveri and a dark petition and win faster.

[@johnnydapp6322]

the cards chosen by ultimatum have to have different names, you cant grab 2 recoveries with one ultimatum
