Lathril, Blade of the Elves, had a slow start but later played a series of strong Elves, becoming a threat.

Depala, Pilot Exemplar, and Ruhan of the Fomori, both developed their boards with key pieces, Sram, Senior Edificer for Ruhan and Renegade Freighter for Depala.

The game was a careful dance of power, with players making strategic decisions in response to the growing threats on the board.

The game ended without a clear winner due to transcript truncation.
