Summary

The game started off with the players building up their boards and setting up their strategies. Bess, Soul Nourisher was played early, indicating a one-one creature strategy. Unfortunately, this was countered by the Goblin Sharpshooter, which posed a significant threat to the one-one deck. The game continued with players advancing their decks and interacting strategically with each other. The game reached its climax when the Luminarch Aspirant was played, setting up a potential win condition. The game ended with a dramatic finish, with the last player standing after a tense series of turns.
