Gameplay Summary
The game kicked off with a quick tempo set by Alex's Godo deck with a turn one Chalice of the Void.
This early play had a significant impact on the game, shutting down one-drop spells and significantly hindering the strategies of the other players.
This was followed by Aaron's Ikra/Dargo deck casting a Wheel of Fortune, forcing a hand reset for all players.
Alex continued to maintain pressure on the board by quickly getting his Godo, Bandit Warlord onto the field with Helm of the Host.
However, Jim's clever use of Beast Within on the Helm of the Host disrupted Alex's combo.
Despite early pressure from Alex's Godo deck, the players were able to adapt their strategies to the board state, resulting in a tense and engaging game.
