Summary
The game starts with each player revealing their unique strategies. Phil brought a chaos deck based around demons, while Richard played a Kylock Visionary Inventor deck aiming to cheat spells into play for high value. Toer was running an artifact deck full of graveyard shenanigans featuring Tetzin, Gnome Champion // The Golden-Gear Colossus. Lastly, Seth was playing a Norin the Wary deck, taking advantage of its blinking ability to generate value. A key turning point was when Richard cast 'Savor the Moment', gaining an extra turn and providing Seth with multiple end steps, allowing Norin to blink in and out, accumulating counters. This led to an impressive board state for Seth, including a 5/5 double-striking Glimli and a Purphoros, God of the Forge dealing damage each time Norin blinked in and out. Despite the players best efforts, Seth's combination of constant damage and card advantage seemed to be leading the game.
