Summary

In an engrossing battle for the throne of Eldraine, the decks commanded by Beluna, Talion, Yenna, and Rowan showcased their unique strategies and strengths. Early game saw powerful plays such as Seth's casting of 'Nature's Lore' and 'Passionate Archaeologist', Cody's control elements with Talion, and Sam's defense with Yenna's auras. However, the tide turned when Sam's Yenna, bolstered by double 'Armadillo Cloak', dealt a powerful blow to Seth. In spite of this, Seth managed to retaliate by casting 'Amethyst Dragon', which, along with his 'Passionate Archaeologist', dealt significant damage.
